Behavioral Health Resources for Children and Families

The Office of Early Childhood Development and the federal government are committed to advancing the integration of behavioral health in early childhood programs to support children and families.

Behavioral health includes the promotion of mental health, resilience, and well-being; the prevention, early identification, and the treatment of mental illness and substance use disorders; and support for those who experience and/or are in recovery from these conditions, along with their families and communities.
