For Training & Technical Assistance (T&TA) Providers

Materials for Training & Technical Assistance (T&TA) Providers The Office of Head Start funds a network of training and technical assistance (T/TA) providers who are eager to help Head Start programs achieve high-quality implementation of the performance standards. Currently, there are more than 40 performance standards that relate to mental health.

Programs need access to evidence-based strategies to promote mental wellness in families, staff and children. They also need practical tools to help children who may be at higher risk for mental health problems, due to family or community risk factors. And Head Start programs are always seeking effective strategies to address challenging behavior in young children.

The products developed by the CECMHC are designed to give tools to T/TA providers to:

help HS programs assess quality of their approach to mental health;
build capacity to support and sustain evidence-based strategies in their Head Start programs; and
provide guidance and resources that can support a continuum of high-quality mental health services and supports to children, families and staff in Head Start programs.
