Two free launch events will occur on May 7th, with the morning program at the High Point Public Library and the afternoon program at the Greensboro Public Library. The May 7th events will be a great way to celebrate our collaboration and spotlight the wonderful resources that our partnership with Sesame Street in Communities brings to Guilford County.” Last year, we formalized our local collaborative so that we could most effectively share these resources with families and professionals in our community. The Sesame Street in Communities-Guilford County collaborative is spearheaded by five local organizations: UNC Greensboro’s Healthy Relationships Initiative, the Guilford County Partnership for Children, Guilford Child Development, the United Way of Greater High Point, and Ready for School, Ready for Life.Ĭhristine Murray, director of the Healthy Relationships Initiative and a professor in the Counseling and Educational Development (CED) Department in the UNCG School of Education, said, “Our organizations have been working independently for the last few years to embed the Sesame Street in Communities resources into our programs. In addition to resources that foster positive academic, social, and physical development, SSIC resources use familiar characters to address serious challenges that families may face, such as trauma, homelessness, community violence, and grief. Guilford County is one of a small number of communities in the United States that has a formal partnership with Sesame Street in Communities (SSIC), which is the nonprofit arm of Sesame Street that offers online and print resources to foster positive development in early childhood. That’s good enough for me.” However, Cookie Monster’s upcoming visits to Guilford County are to celebrate a local collaboration that leverages the simplicity and familiarity of Sesame Street characters to help parents and professionals discuss complicated issues with young children.
