About The Partnership

The Partnership for Early Childhood Mental Health

The Partnership for ECMH works toward a reality that allows all children and families– particularly the most vulnerable – to have equitable access to high quality early childhood mental health promotion, prevention, and treatment services in the context of family-centered, trauma-informed and racially-just systems.

We promote service delivery using the evidence informed LAUNCH/MYCHILD model with a family partner and clinician team.

From 2010-2019 we funded and supported implementation at 13 primary care settings in Boston, Worcester, and Springfield. From 2019-2023 we will work with the Department of Children and Family Services to integrate ECMH into the child welfare setting via an adapted LAUNCH/MYCHILD model.
