In partnership with the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA), Anchorage Health Department (AHD), thread <\/strong>is now accepting applications for the Early Educator Health and Wellness: Building Resilience for Early Education Workforce, Children, and Families Grant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This grant provides early childhood educators working in licensed programs in the MOA with wellness training, telehealth, tele counseling, teletherapy services, and assistance navigating HealthCare Exchange. Please join thread <\/strong>in illuminating the impact early childhood educator\u2019s health and wellness has on building resilience for early educators, young children, and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

When early educators are healthy, both physically and mentally, they can be more attuned to their jobs and co-workers, and better able to meet the needs of the children they serve. A nationwide survey conducted by Teaching Strategies<\/a> (October 2022) of 2,300 early childhood educators found 45% are experiencing high levels of burnout and mental health challenges and a study conducted by RAPID<\/a> in December 2022 had similar results and found 71% of early childhood educators reported burn-out or \u201ccompassion fatigue\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
