Preschool 0-5 Program

The Growing Healthy Minds Initiative, part of the Riverside University Health System Behavioral Health Preschool 0-5 Programs, aims to enhance the competencies and skills of parents, early childhood providers, and mental health providers in Riverside County. Established in 2000 and gaining recognition as the lead agency in 2018, the initiative fosters collaboration within the community to address the social and emotional needs of young children and their families.

With a focus on evidence-based prevention and health strategies, the Growing Healthy Minds team envisions a community equipped with resources to ensure children have the best possible start in life. The program addresses the significant mental health challenges faced by young children, with over 40% of those screened in Riverside County displaying social and behavioral concerns.
