Project LAUNCH

In August 2019, Children’s Research Triangle, in conjunction with the Partnership for Resilience, received a 5-year grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA) to improve the well-being of young children in Chicago’s Southland. Project LAUNCH developed a community partnership to guide the work Project LAUNCH is doing in the Southland. Project LAUNCH is:

· Increasing the number of screening and assessments being done in the community, with both young children and their parents
· Integrating behavioral health services into primary care settings
· Expanding the number of service providers in the community who can work with young children and their families
· Growing early childhood mental health consultation in Southland communities
· Utilizing public awareness campaigns to increase community knowledge and service access
· Providing service linkage for families in the Southland.
