About the speaker
”The area I have been focusing more is early childhood since I consider that it is often a very simple yet complicated time. It is also a very influential and it will have a big impact on the type of adult we turn out to be later in life. I worked with foster families. The intervention program was mainly focused in the training for children with self-control issues and worked emotional intelligence, anger and anxiety” – Angela Leiva, General Health Psychologist, M.
