Helping New Mothers During the First 40 Days
New mothers who participated in the University of Minnesota’s 40-Day Project pilot report that it was helpful and provided support during an important time in their new role as parents. It promotes mental well-being and social support for new parents before birth and during the first five weeks after birth.
The project currently serves Somali and Latinx parents and was created by a partnership of University of Minnesota extension educators, child development specialists, health providers, and members of the Somali and Latinx community.
Understanding Anxiety: New Tools for Providers
Knowing when a young person’s anxiety is typical and when it is approaching clinical levels is critical for primary care providers and other professionals who work with children and adolescents. A new training module from an ICI collaboration aims to help professionals better understand and assess childhood anxiety. The project increases access to behavioral health and developmental resources for rural and military-connected families and providers.
