Resources to Support Young People’s Well-being During Covid-19

([link removed])

During this uncertain and challenging time, America’s Promise Alliance wants you to know that you are not alone. We are working by your side to ensure that the needs and concerns of young people remain front and center. In that vein, we have compiled a list of resources ([link removed]) to help educators, out-of-school-time providers, parents and families, and community leaders support their young people during the Covid-19 pandemic. Thank you to all those who created and submitted these valuable resources. 

For the next several weeks, America’s Promise will regularly share Covid-19-related updates, resources, tools, and practices for our network in this email newsletter. This week, we want to draw your attention to some useful partner resources that are focused on helping young people (and the adults who care about them) cope during this stressful time and manage their social and emotional needs. While we’re all social distancing, we must put in extra effort to foster connection and support children as whole people. 

SEL and Covid-19 ([link removed]): CASEL offers concrete suggestions for district leaders as they build out their response plans as well as teachers and parents who are concerned about meeting their children’s and their own, social and emotional needs during the Covid-19 outbreak. 

SEL Resources for Parents, Educators & School Communities Related to Covid-19 ([link removed]): InsideSEL has compiled an extensive list of resources, blog posts, and guides to help navigate this uncertain time. 

Bring Social Emotional Learning to Your Home: ([link removed]) Sanford Harmony provides a suite of units and tools that can be used at home to foster and support social, emotional, and cognitive skills. 

Pure Edge Community Resources: ([link removed]) Pure Edge, Inc. is providing resources—such as a mini unit on the neuroscience of stress and their popular brain break videos—to help support learners’ well being. All the videos are also accessible with voice over and subtitles in English and Spanish.

America’s Promise: Our brief, Creating Cultures of Care: Supporting the Whole Child through Trauma-Informed Practice ([link removed]), shows how trauma-informed approaches complement positive youth development. You’ll read about the work of two specific communities—one in Oregon and one in Missouri—which can serve as an inspiration to create healthy learning environments amidst this pandemic.

We invite you to email us at [email protected] or reach out to us on T ([link removed])witter (@AmericasPromise) ([link removed]) if you have additional resources you’d like to share.
