Families everywhere are navigating complex challenges, and we are here to help.
Our Sesame Street / CNN Town Halls bring families across the country—and around the world—together to ask questions, hear from experts, and gain insight and skills to support children and grown-ups alike through learning, mindfulness, and joy.
From strategies for staying healthy and managing “big feelings” through the pandemic to modeling the importance of standing up for racial justice and more, our series of Town Halls tackles the pressing issues on every family’s mind.
