The Well of Lexington has developed a safety and outreach program, WellStart, to foster well-being in children and youth. The foundation of our program is designed to teach decision-making, self-worth and resiliency in children, youth and families.

WellStart fosters children's wellbeing through our programs: children, youth, families, and educators.

WellStart utilizes the evidence-based MindUP for Life curriculum developed by the Goldie Hawn foundation to provide training on social-emotional learning and brain development for childcare staff through training.

Research shows that social-emotional learning helps children learn to manage their emotions, get along with others and improve their learning.

Not a Number, developed by Love146, is an interactive child trafficking and exploitation prevention curriculum designed to provide youth with information and skills in a manner that inspires them to make safe choices. Youth learn to identify and utilize healthy support systems that may decrease their vulnerabilities.
