At a young age, children begin to develop essential skills for engaging in our society, like managing emotions, problem solving, getting along with others, and coping with adversity.

Fostering these skills is a critical prevention and early intervention strategy to help young children recover from the effects of the pandemic and build the foundation for good mental health. Social and emotional development maximizes children's lifelong ability to learn, develop into healthy adults, and contribute to a thriving Iowa. 

Sesame Street is here!

​The Iowa Alliance for Healthy Kids has teamed up with Sesame Street in Communities to give caregivers, providers, and leaders in Iowa the messages and tools to improve the social-emotional well-being of young kids and to promote nurturing relationships within families. Iowa is one of just a handful of communities partnering with Sesame Street in Communities across the nation. ​
