- Parents and caregivers with young children, ages birth to 5, who are served through the above sites, in order to support the emotional health and well-being of their children.
- Young children, birth to age 5, served by City-designated ECMHCI sites and who are assessed by ECMHCI consultants and/or developmental screening to have developmental/social-emotional health needs requiring early intervention and/or mental health treatment services.
