Getting to know your International Contacts-Part 2

Of course my contact has not gotten back with me yet, but she probably will by next week so I will post her response as well. I had to look at the Harvard University's Global Children's Initiative website.
Three things that I found interesting on the website were out of the Early Childhood area they are focusing on a project that would assess quality in early childhood environments and programs in diverse global contexts. I found this to be interesting because we do the same here in the United States. Also I found that the ways in which they are helping children in crisis and conflict by checking the status of post earthquake children in Haiti and Chile, and addressing acute malnutrition quite interesting. Lastly the child mental health networks idea of closing the gap between research evidence on effective treatment and practices for four conditions; anxiety, depression, ADHD, and conduct problems in children is also what we should be doing here in the United States. So many of our children suffer from these same conditions.
