Abstract: Children growing up in a low-income
context often demonstrate social, emotional, behavioral and
academic problems that are rooted in early childhood experiences
of adversity. In this presentation, I will share our recent
findings of the impact of income-related adversity on infants’
biological systems of self-regulation through its effects on
parental mental health and parenting.
Facilitated by Courtney Lyles and Marianne Page, this event
features short presentations by guest speakers followed by an
interactive Q+A. All UC Davis faculty, students and staff are
encouraged to register for the symposium. Light refreshments will
be provided for those who attend in-person.
