Children and families are no doubt going to need support as we return to a new "normal", but so are you as an early care provider. Those who care and educate young children need to care for themselves first. Think about it like the instructions you receive on an airplane... if you don't put on your oxygen mask first, you can't help others.
This section of this website is devoted to help you take care of yourself. Here, you will find videos of open conversations, articles, and activities to help you "put on your oxygen mask" first.
These videos include conversations and brief presentations with strategies and supports for staff self-care, fostering social emotional learning and positive mental health for children, and tips for supporting families during these challenging times.
