A Strong Foundation for Mental Health Begins Early

Healthy brain development is a building process that begins before we are born. Positive experiences and loving relationships create a strong foundation that helps ensure that a child builds the skills necessary for a lifetime of strong mental health. Many children experience developmental delays. Connecting families to community supports and programs helps to ensure that these children get back on track. Investing in practices, policies and services that promote children’s healthy development, and support children who experience developmental challenges, ensures that children build the skills they need to be successful.
