The goal of the early childhood health activities is to positively impact the health and well-being of children in Colorado by improving and supporting state and local child health infrastructure.

The focus of the Early Childhood Health Initiatives centers around the following programs:

Partnering with families in coordination with local and state partners to improve the health and well being of Colorado's Young Children.

The Child, Adolescent and School Health Unit has produced a newsletter entitled Partners in Prevention, for well over ten years. The newsletter targets local public health partners and community-based service providers, providing information and resources on programs, grant opportunities, as well as best practices and research in the realm of child, adolescent and school health.

In the process of compiling the quarterly Partners in Prevention newsletter, we often come across information that would be valuable to share directly with parents and families. We have created The Partners in Prevention for Familiesnewsletter as a vehicle for sharing information that is useful for those who care for children and youth of all ages.
