As part of these efforts, CSHNB is committed to promoting positive mental health supports and services to children and families.
Through focusing on the promotion of positive infant and early childhood mental health, and helping families navigate the systems of care, proven effective services and supports must be available on a continuous basis so families can count on care.
The purpose of this project is to advance Hawaii’s infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH) policies and practices that will contribute to the healthy development of young children and their families. CSHNB seeks a qualified community-based non-profit with a proven track record in researching and developing fiscal strategies for infant and early childhood mental health services.
The short-term goal of this project is to identify state-specific strategies for aligning health care financing policy with IECMH practice. The long-term goal for this project is to be able to enhance the overall health and well-being of infants and young children through implementing sustainable strategies with proven success. This contractor will be responsible for convening key stakeholders and providers to develop recommendations to build sustainable funding for mental health programs and to build mental health systems starting prenatally through early childhood. This contractor should be housed in an organization skilled in drafting recommendations for sustainable funding solutions.
The target population to be served is prenatal individuals and infants and young children aged prenatal through age five statewide. This project seeks to focus and deliver effective services to infants and young children through primary care and behavioral health providers.
The geographic coverage of service is for infants and young children statewide. Contact PersonTholen, IanEmail
