Nearly one in five children and youth
have emotional and behavioral needs that would benefit from services
and supports. Experience and research show that these children and
youth can succeed when provided with coordinated family-centered,
individualized and culturally competent services and supports.

|
Ten in every 1000 children in Colorado are removed from child care due to challenging behaviors. |
|
|
The first five years of
life are, arguably, the richest ones for learning – a
short but spectacular window of time when experiences
such as a whisper, a hug and a bedtime lullaby literally
change the architecture of the developing brain. |

The vision of Project Bloom is to
ensure the mental health and social emotional well being of
Colorado’s young children.
Project Bloom works with a statewide coalition of partners to weave
family-centered, community-based mental health supports and services
into an early childhood system that addresses prevention and
treatment needs.
We know that mental health and emotional development problems in
young children can be recognized and successfully treated. |
