Advancing Resources for Children (ARCh) Project: Connecting NC’s Systems to Strengthen Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Outcomes

The ARCh project at the Center for Child & Family Health (CCFH) is funded by a 5-year Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to improve outcomes of NC children ages birth to five by increasing access to services and advancing workforce capacity to effectively meet their needs. The ARCh project partners with agencies around the state to increase cross-disciplinary knowledge of IECMH through free training, to expand mental health consultation, to support equitable readiness for IECMH endorsement, and to reduce disparities in access to developmentally-sensitive, culturally-responsive, trauma-informed, and evidence-based IECMH practices.Learn more about ARCh HERE.
