Culturally and linguistically competent support and linkage of children and families to accessible, affordable, coordinated services.
Expansion of service capacity to provide community based mental health clinical and consultation services in children’s natural environments.
Cross training of early childhood and family support workforces to recognize and respond to Infant and Early relationship-based tools and practices.
Evaluation of outcomes for continuous improvement, and identification of the return on investment of early intervention and treatment.

MYCHILD Teams

At each health center and HealthCare for the Homeless, the MYCHILD team consists of an Early Childhood Mental Health Clinician and a Family Partner. The clinician is a licensed mental health provider trained in early childhood practice. The Family Partner is a parent of a child with mental health or developmental needs as well as an advocate experienced in parent education and care coordination. Together, and in partnership with the child’s primary care provider, the MYCHILD team provides comprehensive, individualized services to families of young children with social and emotional health needs.
