This initiative partners with communities to implement evidence-based practices that enhance the social-emotional development of children, birth through age 8.
History:
Buffalo County Rooted in Relationships began when approximately 60 stakeholders connected with local partners to develop a long-range plan to support the social-emotional development of young children.
Pyramid Model Implementation:
Community Partners has recently hired 4 coaches to train 14 providers from both in-home and center-based early care and education settings in promoting the social, emotional, and behavioral competence of young children.
Selection of a Systems Priority:
After a year of planning, the Buffalo County Rooted in Relationships team is working to create public awareness for social emotional development for ages 0-8 in all Buffalo County Communities
