Building a Continuum of Early Childhood Social Emotional Programs, Services & Supports in Adams CountyAccomplishments & Outcomes. Our community has experienced great benefit from integrating social emotional work into the early learning and health domains, and was surprised to realize the importance of considering the multiple ways in which early childhood settings – and the variety of their approaches to promoting social emotional growth and development – can satisfy the goals laid out in the Early Childhood Colorado Framework. This resulted in better clarity of purpose at the community level, as well as opportunities to maximize local resources without compromising the unique nature of the many different types of early childhood service providers, including ECE, primary care settings, informal child care and others.
- 100% implementation of the Incredible Years in all Colorado Preschool Program and Head Start classrooms in the county – 2,600 children.
- Implementation of the Incredible Years in 25 Kindergarten classrooms in three districts.
- Six cohorts of the 14-week Incredible Years Parenting Series annually.
- A combination of CSEFEL training and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation in all child care centers and family child care homes who, for infrastructure reasons, cannot implement the Incredible Years.

There is an Adams County, Washington, but that's not the Adams County of this excerpt. How other regions in other parts of the country address early childhood mental health needs can be instructive for us here in the Peninsulas. The excerpt reposted above comes from Colorado.

What stands out for me here is the place that The Incredible Years has in their early childhood-serving system. The Incredible Years Parenting Series was developed at the University of Washington and is an evidence-based practice. -gw
