Chelsea's Child Wellbeing Initiative: A District-Community-University Partnership

A tight knit, vibrant community serving primarily recent immigrants and their children, Chelsea has long relied on its institutions, social service agencies and non-profit organizations. Finding new ways to collaborate in the face of the crisis, the school district has led an effort to establish a Children's Cabinet made up of leaders from across the community to identify needs and coordinate support for child wellbeing. As the research partner for the Children's Cabinet, the Boston College team has worked with members of the Children's Cabinet, alongside district and research partners in an evidence-based, collaborative process to define and document child wellbeing in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
