Project: Early Childhood Mental Health Colorado Website
Organization: Colorado Department of Human Services–Office of Early Childhood
Location of Messaging: Statewide
Children’s social-emotional development begins at birth with relationships and experiences they have right from the beginning. With secure and loving relationships and positive experiences, children develop a foundation of mental health that supports them throughout their lives. For more information about this important topic and to view helpful resources please go to earlychildhoodmentalhealthCO.org. The website contains a toolkit of materials including fact sheets, videos, posters, social media content, brochures and more to help professionals learn more about social-emotional development and early childhood mental health, offer tips on how to support healthy social-emotional development in early childhood programs and support communication and outreach to families. Materials are available in Spanish and English and can be customized for local organizations.
Collateral: all materials can be found at earlychildhoodmentalhealthCO.org
The goal of this project was to increase community awareness of, and investment in, early childhood needs and services, and to build community support for a systemic approach to the provision of high-quality early childhood services.
