Boston Children's Hospital Neighborhood Partnerships | Online Trainings
The Training and Access Project (TAP) is an initiative within Boston Children’s Hospital Neighborhood Partnerships (BCHNP) that offers high-quality professional development and consultation services to Boston schools to help build capacity to address students’ social, emotional, and behavioral health needs. Since 2015, TAP has facilitated workshops for educators on a variety of topics related to social-emotional learning (SEL) and behavioral health. In order to reach more schools beyond Boston, TAP has evaluated and adapted this content to develop TAP Online: a series of free online courses for educators and school communities everywhere.
TAP Online is designed for all school staff including teachers, specialists, school nurses, school administrators, guidance counselors, paraprofessionals, and support staff. Each training is composed of easy-to-follow videos on key topics related to social-emotional learning and behavioral health in schools such as tools for the classroom, supports for students, managing crises, connecting families with services, and more.
All courses feature interviews with educators and clinicians discussing how to overcome challenges, tips on implementing effective strategies in the classroom, and guidelines for connecting with caregivers and healthcare providers. Additional resources and discussion topics that can be used at your school are also provided, as well as a certificate of completion.
They have a new series: Returning to School: Supporting Students, Educators, and School Communities. They are free online workshops on social, emotional, and behavioral health for schools to support preparation for the school year following the impact of COVID-19.
