| The Center for Emotionally Responsive Practice at Bank Street is
committed to integrating preventive mental health practices into early
childhood and early grade school programs so that young children experience
school as a supportive, meaningful, learning environment. The Center
provides a range of services to school communities that want to enhance
children's emotional well being within the school building. This may
include a series of staff development seminars, on-site classroom
consultation services and ongoing groups for teachers in public schools
(Pre K-5), Head Start Programs, child care centers and other early
childhood and early grade settings interested in enhancing the emotional
well-being of children, parents and staff. |

| The Center recognizes the well-documented connection between emotional
wellness and learning potential, and helps schools to build on this
connection by developing emotionally responsive school routines, curriculum,
and adult-child interactions during the school day. The Center works
intensively with collaborating school communities, often providing
on-site support groups for teachers who work in stressful circumstances
and advisement to principals concerned with the effects of school
policy on the emotional well being of children, staff and parents. |
