The Work is the story of how one young man traced a path through the world to find his life’s purpose. Wes Moore graduated from a difficult childhood in the Bronx and Baltimore to an adult life that would find him at some of the most critical moments in our recent history: as a combat officer in Afghanistan; a White House fellow in a time of wars abroad and disasters at home; and a Wall Street banker during the financial crisis. In this insightful book, Moore shares the lessons he learned from people he met along the way—from the brave Afghan translator who taught him to find his fight, to the resilient young students in Katrina-ravaged Mississippi who showed him the true meaning of grit, to his late grandfather, who taught him to find grace in service.

Introducing LEARN Intensives, a new live virtual event series from ZERO TO THREE. Inspired by the innovation and thought leadership of the LEARN Conference, these interactive deep-dive sessions bring timely topics, emerging research, and leading experts directly to you. 

Professionals working in infant and early childhood mental health carry their own lived experiences into every relationship. In this reflective and experiential session, participants will examine how personal histories, identities, and experiences influence their work with children, families, and colleagues. Through guided reflection, discussion, and creative activities, participants will explore the concept of the “invisible backpack” and strengthen their capacity for reflective, self-aware practice.

Presenter:

• Lindsay J. Pearson, Ph.D.(c), Ed.M., IMH-E®, Assistant Director of Early Childhood Educational Programming, Montclair State University’s Center for Autism and Early Childhood Mental Health
