Infant and Early Mental Health Core Components Evaluation Tool

Introduction

Through a collaborative process supported by Kids Brain Health Network and their Implementation Science Support Team, IEMHP identified five infant and early mental health core components for successful embedding of infant and early mental health science, policy, and practice. The following core components need to be in place for an organization, agency, or community to be optimally equipped to support infant and early mental health:

• Leadership
• Resources 
• Skills 
• Pathways of care 
• Data collection and analysis

To support organization, agency, and/or community leaders to embed these five core components, IEMHP developed an online self-evaluation tool that aims to identify an organization’s strengths, and which component they may benefit from focusing on next.

This tool, which currently takes the form of an online questionnaire, is in the process of being validated. If you would like to support IEMHP’s efforts to validate this tool, we invite you to be among the first to use the Infant and Early Mental Health Core Components Evaluation tool.
