Talking to Children About Parental Substance Use
This Sesame Street in Communities webinar shares resources and strategies Head Start programs and staff can use to support children and families affected by addiction, in big and small ways.
Mental Health
Head Start programs support the mental health of children, families, and staff every day. Early childhood mental health is the same as social and emotional well-being. It is a child’s developing capacity to express and regulate emotions, form trusting relationships, explore, and learn—all in the cultural context of family and community. The mental health of children and the adults that care for them is essential for school readiness.
