Integrated Infant and Early Childhood Behavioral Health (IECBH) Plan
The IECBH Plan proposes to integrate child and family mental health and trauma-informed care into our health and early care and learning systems throughout Hawaiʻi.
Commit to Keiki is a statewide, non-partisan, public-private collaborative to ensure a brighter start for Hawai‘i’s youngest keiki. Led by a diverse Steering Committee, Commit to Keiki’s mission is to increase Hawai‘i’s investments in its youngest keiki by collaborating with elected officials and serving as a trusted partner and reliable resource for information on issues related to early childhood.
The Pāhoa Promise Partnership, on Hawaii Island, and the Ka `Upena o Waimānalo partnership, on Oahu, are community-based efforts to develop continuums of support for young keiki and their `ohana.
With the knowledge and experience you have provided from the beginning of this journey until now, we are working to carefully weave together the important stories and patterns that teach us how our systems currently works.
Community-Centered Partnerships (CCP)
CCP is the practice of working closely with affected community members about priorities that get elevated, funded and worked on at different levels. In practice, it means placing affected communities at the center of voice and decision-making.
The EC Funders’ Hui is comprised of philanthropic funders who support work in early childhood health, safety, and learning.
Comprehensive System of Personnel Development (CSPD)
Ensuring that young children with disabilities and their families are provided services by knowledgeable, skilled, competent, and highly qualified personnel, and that sufficient numbers of these personnel are available in the state to meet needs.
