The Department of Early Education and Care (EEC) is working with the Department of Public Health to conduct a study of Behavioral/Mental Health Services in early education and care settings in Massachusetts. The survey is designed to gather feedback from both specialists and early education administrators to better define and understand the services available for young children who have behavioral, social or emotional challenges. This information will be used to inform future decisions related to EEC's work related to early childhood behavioral and mental health. Please use the links below to access the survey:
