Child Mental Health: Fostering Wellness in Children

The Office of Academic and Professional Development (OAPD) and the Chief Wellness Officer (CWO) of the Yale Medicine (YM) - Yale New Have Health System ‘s (YNHHS) Aligned Clinical Enterprise (ACE) have partnered to bring you Pros4Peers, developed to exchange professional expertise among Yale’s medical community to improve well-being, foster a caring and connected culture, and strengthen a sense of belonging among faculty, staff, and students across the health system.

Recent wellness survey results indicated child mental health is a critical issue for members of the YSM and YNHHS communities, who serve as both caregivers at home and in the healthcare setting. In response, Pros4Peers and Yale’s Child Study Center (YCSC) have created a webinar series, to support your role in understanding children’s development and mental health. Whether or not you have children of your own, we all play a part in fostering wellness and resilience skills in children to ensure their social development.

Each Child Mental Health: Fostering Wellness in Children session will build on the previous one and take place during May in recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month. The live webinars occur at noon via Zoom on the following dates:

We encourage you to add the webinars to your calendars and visit the YSM Program on Art in Public Spaces (PAPS) art exhibition “Mindful: Exploring Mental Health Through Art” on display in the lobby outside the Harvey Cushing/John Hay Whitney Medical Library through August.
