Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children’s Health An overview of our goals and strategies
Framing the Issue • Children need a safe, supportive environment to grow and learn • Address health disparities by creating a shared vision among community members • For too long, mental health was not at the forefront when talking about early childhood development
Project LAUNCH • Funded by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) • Five-year grants to states, tribes, and local communities
Prevention and Promotion Strategies Each grantee implements or expands evidence-based programs and practices in five key areas:
Systems Integration Activities Engages key players across child-serving systems Promotes coordination and collaboration among partners and all stakeholders SAMHSA • Councils on Young Child Wellness • Promotes agency partnerships with ACF, HRSA, and CDC • Develops additional governmental and private partners that mirror collaboration at the state/tribal and local levels
Councils on Young Child Wellness • Unite stakeholders at state, tribal, and local levels, across the child-serving systems to create a shared vision of young child wellness • Bring together providers, parents, and other stakeholders to plan and oversee local implementation • Conduct an environmental scan to map existing resources, unmet needs, gaps, and areas for collaboration • Develop a strategic plan to prioritize goals and objectives, timelines, and benchmarks for success • Help ensure that programs address behavioral health disparities through strategic planning and implementation
Sustaining Practices • Project LAUNCH creates partnerships between the state or tribe and local communities • Strategies are carefully selected to lead to large-scale, system-wide improvements • Practices are designed to live beyond the life of the grant
