Integrating IECMH into Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics

As Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) expand nationwide, they are reshaping access to mental health care. Yet too often, the needs of infants, toddlers and their families are overlooked.

ZERO TO THREE’s Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Financing Policy Project has released a new toolkit that equips early childhood and behavioral health leaders to build strong, family-centered systems of care, designed to:

• Inform infant and early childhood leaders and practitioners about the CCBHC model.
• Encourage engagement in shaping infant and early childhood service arrays.
• Support CCBHC leaders in connecting with infant and early childhood systems and integrating IECMH services.
