On this episode of Behind the Pages, Fabiola reveals how Save the Children created a platform to empower men in three communities affected by gang violence in El Salvador to be more involved in the critical early years of their children or grandchildren’s lives. In her field note, “Building Resilience and Mitigating the Impact of Toxic Stress in Young Children: A Model for Transforming Parenting and Male Caregiving in El Salvador,” Lara argues that ECD programming attuned to the wellbeing of caregivers, as well as that of children, can be a protective factor for children’s healthy and timely development.

In this webinar, Fabiola Lara discusses a Comic Relief-funded program to mitigate the impact of violence on your children in El Salvador and outcomes. The program involved preschool, community and caregiver interventions and a toxic stress mitigation model approach.
