Mission
|
The mission of Video Interaction Project (VIP) is to promote early relational health and thereby prevent disparities in child development and school readiness at population-level, before these disparities emerge. VIP works to fulfill this mission using real-time video-feedback at pediatric health care visits to reinforce strengths and build family resilience. VIP addresses a critical social justice challenge facing the United States - inequality of opportunity for young children in families facing structural barriers related to poverty and racism.
