Mental Health Resources

Through a series of five interactive webinars, educators and caregivers explore in-depth strategies to support the language development of young children. Risk factors and their impacts on mental health and social-emotional well-being were explored in detail including the critical role of language as an indicator of children’s needs and a key component in understanding behavior.
