Children's Social Emotional Development and Mental Health: Why Does It Matter?

The Children's Bureau is excited to announce a new video, Children's Social Emotional Development and Mental Health: Why Does It Matter? The video emphasizes the importance of robust social emotional development and mental health support strategies within programs serving young children and their families. 

Early Childhood experiences can strengthen or disrupt a young child's social, emotional, and cognitive development. Supporting the social emotional development of young children and the well-being of their caregivers is a proactive prevention approach to promoting positive long-term outcomes for children and their caregivers.

Produced by the Children's Bureau in partnership with the Office of Early Childhood Development, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, the Office of Head Start, and other federal caregivers, both parents and early care and education providers, and systemic supports essential to promoting mental health and well-being.
