Collaborating with state agencies, nonprofit organizations and other partners, DPH leads several projects across the state and within communities working towards the improvement of the social, emotional, and physical well-being of the young children.
Vision: All young children and families in Massachusetts thrive with the support of strong, responsive systems that are well coordinated, equity-driven, and honor families’ unique strengths, cultures, and dreams.
Mission: To transform systems and the context in which young children and families live, we build skills, capacity, and relationships to promote universal family-driven approaches and coordinated systems of health, social emotional wellness, family leadership and support, early learning and development, and economic justice.
