Parenting In-Service Events
The Parenting Project: Healthy Children, Families, & Communities holds annual in-service events at Cornell University for parent educators and others who work with parents and children across New York State.
The in-service events provide networking opportunities, professional development workshops, and various academic presentations by Cornell faculty.
In the past, presentation topics have included maternal employment and child well-being, childhood risk and resilience, using news and social media to promote your county association, using a two-generational approach to parent education, changing family forms in the U.S., and engaging low-income fathers.
