Resilience and Social-Emotional Health Logic Model
In early childhood, a child’s resilience and social and emotional health are directly influenced by the culture of the early childhood program they attend and the culture of their home. An early childhood program whose mission, values, policies and leadership support resilience-building cultures can promote child resilience in a number of ways.

DCRC is always interested in pursuing partnerships with universities, state, and local agencies and individuals who are planning to embark on research projects involving the promotion of social and emotional health and resilience of children. If you are interested is partnering with us, please let us know.
