Be Well: Sesame Street Tailors New Content to Boost Youth Mental Health
Youth mental health has been deemed a crisis by U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Hallegere Murthy with much of the blame being placed on COVID-19 lockdowns. Rosemarie Truglio, SVP of curriculum and content at Sesame Workshop, joined Cheddar News to talk about a slate of new programming for children aimed at boosting their mental health.
An Associated Press analysis of more than 130 bills in 40 state legislatures found of the proposals, as introduced or passed, are identical or very similar to some model legislation, the AP found.
The first book in the Harry Potter series hit shelves in 1997. Since then, it’s become a multibillion dollar franchise with multiple books and movies, a theme park, and now an interactive exhibit in New York City. Cheddar’s own Ashley Mastronardi visited earlier this week before it was open to the public.
Cheddar recommends "Queenmaker: The Making of an It Girl," "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves," "The Mother," "A Man Called Otto," "The Covenant," and "The Great American Recipe."
