As an Innovation and Improvement Project, The Center for Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (CECMHC) is committed to providing opportunities for strengthening mental health services and mental health consultation in Head Start and Early Head Start programs. The CECMHC views early childhood mental health consultation as an essential strategy to improve the mental health of young children, their families and staff in Head Start and Early Head Start programs across the country. Improving the mental health services of Head Start requires leadership, a strong vision by the program director, and collaboration between the mental health consultant, staff and families.
