Fact Sheet


RIAIMH and Rhode Island KIDS COUNT worked together to produces this new fact sheet,  Supporting the Mental Health of Babies and Young Children in Rhode Island, as part of our work together to support state policies and systems that help families with young children thrive. In this fact sheet, we focus on the DC:0-5, the only developmentally appropriate diagnostic system to recognize and understand mental health challenges in young children under age 6.  We also highlight strategies that are working in Rhode Island to strengthen access to high-quality mental health services for young children.
