COVID-19 Resources
The Center for Emotionally Responsive Practice (ERP) is continuing to work with our collaborators virtually to support school communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have also been developing resources that may be useful for teachers, caregivers, and others looking for ways to enhance the social-emotional element of their online work with children. Now, more than ever, children and teachers need social emotional support to humanize the distance learning experience and keep teacher-child connections strong and our own mental health intact.
Below is the beginning of our list of resources, which will grow each week.
