Valeria Rojas
Role in CARE Study
I am a parent coach for the CARE Study whose primary goal is to provide emotional support and feedback to caregivers and encourage positive and nurturing interactions between caregivers and their children
Why I'm Excited About CARE
I am extremely excited and honored to be a part of this study because from a young age, one of my main research interests has been the impact of family dynamics on youth and one of my biggest takeaways from being immersed in my community was the amount of stigma that still exists surrounding childcare. Providing emotional support and reinforcement for positive caregiver-child interactions ensures that I am doing my part in promoting child and community resiliency.
