CHSC offers free webinars to support Iowa's 1st Five Healthy Mental Development Initiative. The purpose of this education series is to provide tools and information for primary care providers and their staff to assist with recognizing risk for developmental delay, assessing family risk factors, and referring to a 1st Five team to meet the needs of the family. Continuing education credits can be awarded to primary care providers in 1st Five counties thanks to the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services and its 1st Five Program.
