The toolkit was developed as part of the Helping Families Raise Healthy Children initiative implemented in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. The initiative identified some of the chal-lenges faced when attempting to implement depression screening in early intervention, develop cross-system referral processes, and increase capacity for providing relationship-based services. The lessons learned from the initiative helped shape the recommendations for implementing the type of effort outlined in this toolkit. The toolkit has three main parts: an introduction, a step-by-step guide to implementation, and a concluding section with supporting resources. The initiative’s organizing partners included Community Care Behavioral Health, The Alliance for Infants and Toddlers, and RAND Health. Community Care Behavioral Health is a nonprofit behavioral health managed care organization founded by the University of Pitts-burgh Medical Center that manages the delivery of behavioral health services in the North-eastern part of the United States. Community Care’s mission is to improve the health and well-being of the community through the delivery of effective, cost-eficient, and accessible behavioral health services. Community Care’s network comprises more than 1,600 service pro-viders and 1.5 million members. The Alliance for Infants and Toddlers, Inc. was established in 1988 by a federal grant to assist families of infants with low birth weights. In 1992, The Alli-ance became the early intervention service coordination agency for families who have concerns about their child’s development, handling children from birth to the age of three years. The Alliance conducts developmental assessments and provides a broad array of services and sup-port to children with identified delays. We would particularly like to thank the members of our Family Advisory Council, who provided valuable insights and feedback for the planning and implementation of the initiative.
