  3. Integrated System of Care for Early Childhood Mental Health (ECMH) Vision All children are emotionally healthy, ready for school, and nurtured to develop their full potential. Goals There is a coordinated, well-resourced system of relationship-based intervention services for support and treatment of children with social, emotional, and behavioral needs. Families with children 0-5 and those who work with them have awareness, knowledge, and understanding of how to nurture children's healthy growth and development and how to navigate the system. Children and families with risk factors related to behavioralhealth are identified and served as early as possible through a well-articulated system of prevention. 3

  4. Integrated System of Care for ECMH Foundation for Mass LAUNCH and MYCHILD SAMHSA grants 1. The general public perceives behavioral health as an integral part of health for children and families. 2. Families have knowledge and access to strengths based, family-centered services and activities and have a clear understanding of how to best benefit from the system. 3. Providers working with young children and their families are trained in using best practices that nurture children’s behavioral health. 4. Children and families in target populations receive strengths-based, family- centered services as early as possible through identification of risk factors. 5. Providers of services are knowledgeable about available services and appropriately refer families if there is an indicator of risk. 6. Families have access to a diverse, comprehensive array of services that are targeted to their needs. 7. The level of strengths- based, family-centered services available to children and families are aligned with the extent of their needs. 8. Resources (funding and staffing) are optimized for relationship-based intervention services provided to children and families. 9. The workforce is knowledgeable and competent across levels and systems of care. 4
