Megan Moore, Director of Positivity, said, “The social-emotional well-being of all learners and those who support them is front and center in our minds here at n2y. We want to make sure that all individuals have access to tools that will help them better understand the circumstances surrounding them and effectively cope with what’s occurring.”

These resources included free access to n2y’s Total Solution, video lessons and downloadable materials: Positivity social narratives, News-2-You ® papers and SymbolStix PRIME ® communication boards.
