The month of May brings Mother’s Day making it a great time to revisit the iSOSY Parenting Lessons with all of those expecting and new parents in your program!

Remember that many of our OSY are young mothers themselves and partnering with Migrant Head Start or Early Head Start centers in your area can really help both the mother and child get a great start educationally. Click HERE to locate your nearest Head Start center today!

And don't miss the interactive Mother's Day post on the Student Portal. Your student can easily learn more about the holiday with fun games and activities.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month so we encourage you to visit iSOSY’s research-based mental health lessons HERE.

These bi-lingual lessons allow service providers to not only focus on important mental health topics but also incorporate English-building skills into the lessons. Each lesson includes: a pocket guide, a lesson script, and bilingual audio enhancements.
