What you need to know to support the positive development of Black girls with Seanna Leath
Talking About Kids is designed to support the positive development of all kids with the recognition that the factors that influence that development will be unique for each child based on their individual characteristics as well as those of their family and community. For Black History Month, Talking About Kids is examining the factors that influence the positive development of Black children and youth, and we kick off the month with insights from Seanna Leath. Seanna is an Assistant Professor at Washington University in St. Louis, where she directs the Fostering Healthy Identities and Resilience (FHIRe) Collaborative, a research lab devoted to studying the development of Black girls. This episode was intentionally produced to support the formation and coordination of adolescent-centered care and services, so you also will hear from Tracy Pedrotti of the Arizona Alliance for Adolescent Health. It was recorded live using a webinar platform to encourage questions from alliance members and other listeners.
