Office of Head Start’s National Center on Health, Behavioral Health, and Safety (NCHBHS)

For this project, the UCSF CCHP staff provides expertise in specific content areas including the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency preparedness, staff health, injury prevention, environmental health, prevention of infectious disease, prenatal care, and health equity. We contribute to the NCHBHS by providing Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) that reflects current evidence, is research-informed, and promotes best practices.  The NCHBHS strengthens professional development outcomes for staff and improves outcomes for children and families enrolled in Head Start and/or Early Head Start (HS/EHS) programs.
