Tufts Health Plan has signed on to sponsor the 2009 “Speaking of Kids” series at Bradley Hospital and Hasbro Children’s Hospital.
For 16 years, the program has connected parents, caregivers and teachers with top child-development and child-behavior professionals. Eight workshops are held each year throughout the spring and fall; the first one next year will be in March.
Dates and topics are still being planned; previous topics have included positive approaches to discipline, managing anger and aggression in children and teens, and teaching kids how to problem-solve.
“We’re excited to partner with Tufts Health Plan on Speaking of Kids,” said Daniel J. Wall, president and CEO of Bradley Hospital. “Sharing our knowledge and expertise with the community is important to us, and Speaking of Kids provides a golden opportunity to address many of the questions and concerns that parents and caregivers often have.”
James Roosevelt Jr., president and CEO of Tufts Health Plan, said sponsoring the series “offers a unique opportunity to provide useful communication tools to caregivers and parents.” He added that Tufts “is committed to helping people live healthier lives, and programs such as this one can help entire families.”
Each Speaking of Kids workshop is about two hours long, including time for audience questions. All sessions are free and open to the public. Professional continuing education credits are available.
