Center on the Developing Child, Harvard University

This webinar will explore how stability across multiple domains shapes healthy development for young children and their caregivers. Drawing on insights from the latest working paper from the Early Childhood Scientific Council on Equity and the Environment, From Resources to Routines: The Importance of Stability in the Developmental Environment, this conversation will examine how interconnected systems—including housing, employment, health care, education, and community supports—can help create, maintain, and restore stability.

The webinar will highlight complementary frameworks, including the Urban Institute’s Web of Stability and EMPath’s Economic Mobility Bridge, to explore how families experience stability across different aspects of daily life. Panelists will share specific examples of how organizations, systems, and communities can work together to strengthen stability, support economic mobility, and promote healthy development for children and caregivers.
