Blog Assignment: Getting to know your International Contacts Part 2.
One insight I learned was about "The National forum on Early Childhood Policy and Programs. This program Policy and Programs. This program tries to communicate the need for public Investment, what area to invest funds and the containing assessment of set programs.
Another insight I learned was about the Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University working together with Governors in support of "Best Practice" across the entire United States.
The last insight was about "Child Mental Health Network." Child Mental Health is a program that looks at how much we know and don't know about mental health. Research is constantly being looked at in hopes of a resources of understanding mental health.

Audrey,
ReplyDeleteI also choose to review the Harvard Initiative as well as the mental Health domain of this initiative. I was so thankful to see mental health at the forefront of such a great program!
Hi Audrey,
ReplyDeleteI viewed this website as well, and I was very impressed with their mission and goals for serving children. The mental health initatitive is a great program to deal with issues related to the mental abilities of children.
I like the insight you had about working with the Governers. I think so often the people that make the biggest and most important decisions are so far removed from the situations they are making decisions about. It is so important to educate them on how the decisions they make affect people.
ReplyDeleteAudrey, thank you for sharing these resources. I am interested in learning more about the "Child Mental Health Network" and will check it out this week.
