STRESS MANAGEMENT

Stress management for teachers, child caregivers, and volunteers is an important issue. Too much stress not only can affect your health, but also the quality of care you provide to children. Help teachers recognize specific stressors in their jobs, share ideas on ways minimize stressors, and explore stress management techniques.
Warning--you must have a sense of humor to provide this training!

PROMOTING MENTAL HEALTH

Development of mental health begins the moment we are born. As infants, toddlers, and preschoolers grow, they respond to people, relationships, and day-to-day interactions. A consistent nurturing and supportive environment is the foundation of mental health throughout life. Help teachers and families understand how they can nurture and promote mental health in young children every day.

From our Promoting Mental Health Training Module

It is our goal to provide accurate information and effective resources to promote the health and safety of young children, birth through age 8, and for family education. We offer up-to-date training modules, curricula, classroom resource books, and children's activities. Our resources are used by child care health consultants and other trainers in a variety of settings, such as center- and family-based child care, Head Start, Department of Defense community services programs, pre-K and kindergarten programs, family readiness groups, health departments and clinics, and teacher preparation programs.
