Project Title: Early Childhood Behavioral Health
Project Description:

YES’ Early Childhood Behavioral Health (ECBH) program serves infants and children from birth to age seven, and their parents/caregivers, in East King County, WA. We provide services regardless of the ability to pay and in multiple languages other than English, thus reducing key barriers to care. Program goals are to prevent abuse, neglect, developmental delays, and social-emotional and behavioral problems among at-risk infants and children; promote healthy parent-child relationships; and promote healthy child social, emotional and cognitive development.

YES’ program addresses our community’s need for infant and child behavioral health services by offering three evidence-based interventions: Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), a treatment for children ages two to seven in which parents are coached on the elements of effective discipline and child management skills; Promoting First Relationships (PFR), an intervention developed by researchers at UW for children from birth to age seven, to promote secure and healthy relationships between caregivers and young children; and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), for children ages six and seven who have serious behavioral issues or delayed social-emotional development, which teaches emotional regulation. These evidence-based interventions have been shown to strengthen early brain development.

Our target population includes infants and children who have risk factors for poor social-emotional development and acute behavioral issues. These risk factors may include poverty, teen and/or single parent, first-born infant, and/or parent diagnosis of mental illness or substance abuse. As well, it includes infants and children significantly impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic, who are presenting with a high level of behavioral challenges. Within our PCIT and PFR programs, we support Latine and Filipino families by utilizing therapists trained in these interventions who are bilingual/bicultural. In our CBT program, we support families with a wide range of languages and cultures, utilizing our bilingual/bicultural therapists.
