On Improving Mental Health Care of Young Children In California: Grounded in evidence-based practices

This from WestEd, the "research, development, and service agency [that] works with education and other communities to promote excellence, achieve equity, and improve learning for children, youth, and adults," whose roots "go back to 1966, when Congress funded regional laboratories across the country to find practical ways to improve the education of our nation’s children."

This article examines how the California Center for Infant-Family and Early Childhood Mental Health has developed evidence-based practices that focus on assessing the state of the infant-parent relationship and working with the family in culturally and socially sensitive ways to strengthen it.
