Yale Child Study Center & Scholastic Collaborative for Child & Family Resilience Host: "Strengthening Resilience through the Power of Literacy Helping Children Heal, Grow, and Thrive in a New Normal"

The Collaborative 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 their communities. We are particularly focused on highlighting the connections among literacy, health, and resilience.

For this symposium, we’ve assembled a group of leaders and experts who represent the eminent research coming out of the Yale Child Study Center, the education leadership associated with Scholastic, and some of our valued friends of the Collaborative. We are delighted to count you as part of our growing fellowship of educators, mental health professionals, and active citizens committed to research and advocacy supporting children, mental health, and literacy. For the next two days we will focus on how to best serve the needs of children, families, and educators who will be returning to school in the fall amid the current dual pandemics: COVID-19 and racial injustice. Together, we will explore practical strategies and tools for: 

• Planning for reopening schools with a flexible approach
• Supporting social-emotional wellness throughout the school community
• Ensuring equity and access in a changing climate
• Sustaining family engagement during and beyond the pandemic
• Building resilience through literacy
