Alameda County Early Childhood Mental Health (ECMH) is a prevention, early intervention, and treatment-based program designed to provide mental health services to children ages 0-8 and their families in the home and the clinic. The Early Childhood program is provided through county-operated services and partnerships with community-based organizations.
ECMH utilizes parent-child dyadic therapy, which focuses on the behavioral, social-emotional, and/or developmental needs of caregivers in their relationships with their young children.
Families may access ECMH services by contacting our Alameda County ACCESS line, 800-491-9099 or they may work directly with the ECMH community provider to determine eligibility for services.
