Neuro Emotional Literacy
January 29, 2021
The Neuro Emotional Literacy Program (NELP) is still operating at West Heights Elementary School, with support groups meeting online. If you would like information about the program, or are interested in resources for parents, teachers, and educational assistants that can help you address the emotional needs of children, please check out our website: nelp.ca
There are over 20 puppet plays for children at the website. These plays address social and emotional issues for children, such as how to deal with anxiety, disappointment, anger and boredom. There are also many resources and links to online resources, as well as research article summaries on topics relating to emotional wellness.
