Meadville YMCA Early Childhood Well-being ProjectThis is a collaborative project between the Healthy Families Lab and the Meadville YMCA supported by the Allegheny College Gateway Network. This project involves conducting a needs assessment of YMCA teachers and parents involved in their early childhood program to identify avenues for bolstering the emotional and behavioral well-being of the children served in this program. This collaborative effort is expected to result in the implementation of specific evidence-based early childhood mental health prevention and intervention practices, such as a website of resources for parents and workshops for parents and teachers, that meet the identified needs of the program.
