Workforce Development GOAL 3
Increase the quality and capacity of the early childhood and behavioral health workforce to address social, emotional, and behavioral needs of young children and their families
Strategy 3.1 Develop Cross-sector Workforce Training and Support
Rationale: All infant and early childhood providers should be trained in core relationship skills and relationship-based practices to support the promotion and preventive intervention of behavioral health services. Workforce efforts must be expanded across both pre-service training and in-service training for a wide range of providers of infant and early childhood services, including health, mental health, social services, education, and child care.
