Social and emotional health is important for children and adults. It helps us get along with others, focus, follow directions, share, solve problems, and care about how people feel.
The Devereux Center for Resilient Children (DCRC) develops research-supported, strength-based resources to support professionals and families in their efforts to enhance children's social and emotional well-being and prevent or reduce challenging behaviors. They value the strengths, happiness, and resilience of all children and promote the well-being of the adults who parent, nurture, and educate children. The DCRC approach, which uses data to inform decisions and track progress, involves families and providers working together as a team to provide consistent, nurturing and developmentally appropriate care. And it results in positive outcomes for children!
