THE NEED
Families with young children are struggling; nearly a quarter live in poverty, and many face high levels of toxic stress, the impact of which can be carried across generations.
We understand now more than ever the science of “toxic stress” and how adversity experienced during pregnancy, infancy, and early childhood can interfere with children’s and families’ abilities to reach their fullest potential. Zero to Thrive aims to mitigate the impact of these toxic stressors through scientific discoveries, increased public awareness, and development and delivery of programs and service targeted at innovative solutions.
