The Center for Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation was created through a grant from the Office of Head Start. The center collects research on healthy mental development in a easy to read forum. The website offers "Creating Teaching Tools" to provide teachers with practical strategies to be successful in helping young children with problem behavior. Other materials that can be used to support young children in the classroom and other learning environments are also available including: classroom rules, stop signs, turtle techniques, visual schedules, scripted stories, and feeling faces. Materials for families engagement are also available. Teachers can also access lesson plan ideas for teaching children about friendship, emotions, and problem solving.
