Right Start for Colorado

About Right Start for Colorado
Right Start for Colorado was an Infant/Early Childhood Mental Health Workforce Development initiative, originally seeded by funding from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) in 2018.
Impact Report
We’re excited to share our Impact Report that highlights clinical and workforce development outcomes over the past five years (2018 to 2023) of Right Start for Colorado. Please take a look and see the results that can be achieved for young children, families and providers when investments in infant and early childhood mental health workforce development are prioritized.
Right Start for Colorado Trainings
We provided a mix of trainings for various IECMH audiences. Some trainings were geared towards clinicians who provide treatment services to the 0-5 population. Others for providers wanting a better understanding of what infant mental health is and how it intersects with their professional role. One of the main goals of Right Start for Colorado was to build sustainable, statewide infrastructure for IECMH workforce development. To that end, there remain numerous Colorado resources for ongoing IECMH training:
- DC:0-5 Training: To schedule a Colorado DC:0-5 training, you can visit ZERO TO THREE.
- Circle of Security: Right Start for Colorado trained over 250 COS-Parenting certified facilitators who can offer this service to the community. Please see our Circle of Security upcoming sessions to learn more.
