Adelphi University Helps People Affected by Hurricane Sandy in More Ways Than One

The Adelphi University Institute for Parenting, formed to aid the community in parenting programs and clinical support for young children, has helped in providing support to those affected by Hurricane Sandy even years later from the disaster. Specifically, the organization has worked to address the impact of a traumatic event like Hurricane Sandy on young children and how teachers and child care providers can best support and care for young children and their families, during and after a traumatic event. Candida Cucharo, MSW, MBA, Infant Mental Health Planning Specialist from the Institute, spoke with Fox 5 to discuss the program.
