The early childhood apprenticeship webinar  examines different models with examples from two states on how they are implementing their apprenticeship programs within their mixed delivery system, highlighting their successes, challenges, and strategies.

This brief focuses on how to build sustainable infant and early childhood mental health consultation (IECMHC) services for infants and toddlers across a mixed delivery system. This brief is grounded in the perspectives of stakeholders across New York’s analogous sectors of health, mental health, education, higher education, local technical assistance, and child welfare engaged in the work of building a roadmap for sustainable, statewide IECMHC services and supports that will improve the quality of service provision for infants and toddlers.

This brief gives an overview of infant and early childhood mental health consultation (IECMHC) for policymakers and program leaders, summarizing its state of research and implementation efforts. IECMHC is a prevention-oriented, multilevel intervention in which mental health professionals with training in early child development are paired with the caregivers of young children to build adult’s capacities to support children’s social-emotional development and address challenging behavior.

During the opening session for A Comprehensive Approach to Behavioral and Social-Emotional Health strand , presenters outlined important considerations for state program administrators designing an early childhood system that supports the social-emotional learning and mental health of young children and their families. The session also presented a framework for how multiple early childhood service programs fit within a larger early childhood system of care.

This webinar , provides resources and examples from other states on updating, communicating and using the strategic plan to communicate to external audiences about progress and goals.

This webinar  provides information about states with successful, enduring processes in place that result in an ongoing strategic plan for their early childhood system. State presenters focus on their context, how they are sustaining this work, and their peer recommendations to other states. Participants receive ideas that states can consider about how to create enduring processes that result in an ongoing (rather than intermittent) early childhood strategic plan that is seen as an integral component of the state’s early childhood system
