Heart & Mind Matters

Empowering Children with Confidence & Resilience

At Heart & Mind Matters, we believe that every child deserves the tools to navigate life’s social and emotional challenges with confidence. Our Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) program provides structured, engaging, and culturally relevant resources to help children develop emotional intelligence, build positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.

Our research-based curriculum, coping tools, and professional training programs are designed specifically for the Jewish community, ensuring that the content is relatable, effective, and impactful.

What is SEL?

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process of developing essential life skills such as self-awareness, emotional regulation, social skills, and problem-solving. By fostering these abilities, SEL helps children improve their relationships, manage stress, and succeed in school and beyond.

Our approach to SEL goes beyond theory, it’s interactive, practical, and tailored to real-life situations children face every day. By equipping children with these skills early on, we empower them to navigate challenges with confidence and resilience.

The Heart and Mind Matters SEL program, has been a game changer for me. It is an easy to follow step by step skill based social skills program with beautiful and engaging graphics. There are worksheets, games, and ideas to help facilitate mastery of each skill. Each concept is practical and imperative for a child’s success. Children connect easily to the ideas, and are able to quickly incorporate them them into their everyday lives. It clearly has an impact on their social standing, behavior and self-regulation. It is a gift for the child and the therapist!

As an elementary school principal, I’ve always felt that the beauty of school-based intervention is the fact that it doesn’t happen in the vacuum of the therapy room. Collaboration with the teachers as well as much needed guidance on the specific students’ needs are crucial to the generalizing of the skills being worked on in session. Mrs. H. Moskowitz, with her tailor made for each student programs and constant communication with the teachers, is the gold standard for school-based intervention. We have B”H seen remarkable success with the students she’s worked with. And just as importantly, the teachers have been thoroughly supported while their students are on their journey, gaining the necessary skills to be successful in the classroom and beyond.

Working with Mrs. Moskovits privately really enhanced our son's understanding of his self awareness and social interactions at home and at school. Her expertly crafted social skills program targets every aspect of a child’s social emotional development. She explores emotions, actions thoughts and feelings, coping tools, self awareness, social emotional regulation, social nuances and more, all in a fun and engaging way. As we went through the curriculum together weekly, it was clear that Mrs. Moskovitz is passionate, devoted, super intuitive and she genuinely understands the whole child.

It was an extremely valuable tool that was effective in both individual and group settings. It touches on essential social skills. The concepts are broken down in a very teachable way. Students related well to the visuals. It was a pleasure to use a curriculum that utilized research based concepts in a format that is appropriate for a Bais Yaakov.
