Morgan Stanley
The Morgan Stanley Alliance for Children’s Mental Health provides support for resources promoting emotional well-being in early childhood.
Sesame Workshop and the Morgan Stanley Alliance for Children’s Mental Health share a deep commitment to supporting early childhood mental health as an essential part of positive long-term development.
As we work to build smarter, stronger, kinder communities, this research-based, multimedia initiative connects children and families with early childhood well-being education. Resources are designed to:
- Support parents and caregivers in managing family stressors, challenging behaviors, and children’s emotional distress, and
- Promote engagement and communication to build resilience in children and families.
The Morgan Stanley Alliance for Children’s Mental Health combines the resources and reach of Morgan Stanley with the knowledge and experience of its distinguished nonprofit member organizations, including Sesame Workshop, to address the far-reaching challenges of stress, anxiety and depression in children and young people.
