Our mission is to promote social and emotional development, foster resilience and build skills for school and life success in children birth to school-age, as well as to promote the resilience of the adults who care for them. We accomplish this by doing research and producing resources for Infants, Toddlers, Preschoolers and Adults. We are also excited to share our resources for promoting resilience in vulnerable children & families at YourJourneyTogether.org as well as for dealing with challenging behavior in children at MoreFLIPIT.org.
