Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation Initiative

The purpose of this RFGA is to identify multiple agencies to provide supports to the social-emotional health of children in early care and education and family resource center settings funded by the Department of Early Childhood.  Agencies selected will need to demonstrate experience providing mental health consultation to enhance the capacity of adult caregivers of children and have particular expertise in the supporting social-emotional health of 0 – 5 year olds.  Agencies will demonstrate capacity to support a large number of settings and align services to a scenario model described in the RFGA document..

This RFGA seeks to award up to $5,000,000 to multiple providers to serve early childhood education and family resource settings funded by the Dept. of Early Childhood.  The number of awards and amount of awards will be determined in grant negotiations that assign sites to awardees and hours to sites based on processes and considerations described in the RFGA document.  To the degree possible, services are sought immediately upon award of a grant.

Application deadline is tentatively set for March 18, 2024 at 3 p.m. A bidder’s conference is tentatively set for February 21, 2024 at 4 p.m.
