Welcome to the Yale Child Study Center–Scholastic Collaborative for Child & Family Resilience.

Our Collaborative arose from a shared commitment to exploring how literacy can be used to foster resilience among children and families. We believe in a multi-generational approach to literacy that is grounded in storytelling, social connections, and place-based learning to strengthen communities.

The Yale Child Study Center–Scholastic Collaborative for Child & Family Resilience works to advance research and contribute to the development of resources, programs, and curriculum that improve academic and health outcomes for children, their families, and communities.
