CHDI advances policies and strategies to foster the best start in life for children and works to integrate social emotional development and trauma-informed care into settings where young children live, learn and play.
CHDI has a long history of working to ensure children are off to a healthy start. Our goal is to strengthen and integrate the systems that serve young children and support child-serving professionals in addressing the behavioral health and trauma needs of young children and their families. Currently, we are teaming up to advance system improvements to ensure young children grow up healthy and thrive as part of the CT 359 Network.
The CT 359 Network is a diverse coalition of individuals and organizations committed to advancing the health and well-being of all the state’s younger children. Its vision is for all of Connecticut’s younger children to be healthy, thriving and developmentally on target at three, five and nine
