EarlyWell Pre-Conference Session

The EarlyWell Initiative works with parents and families, health practitioners, care providers, and community leaders to advance public policies to improve the landscape around infant and child mental health in North Carolina. This virtual session is designed to provide a shared foundation for anyone interested in advancing the social-emotional health and well-being of young children and their caregivers.

Explore what infant and early childhood mental health means, why it matters for children, families, and communities, and how relationships are the foundation for healthy development. Through this webinar, you’ll also learn about the EarlyWell Initiative’s mission, framework for action, and the EarlyWell Policy Roadmap and 2027 Priorities—including how they were developed and where the Initiative is headed.

Designed for family leaders, advocates, providers, educators, early childhood professionals, policymakers, social workers, researchers, and community partners, this session will establish a common language across sectors and introduce opportunities to engage with the EarlyWell Initiative.
