Behavior Help Program and Resources

The Office of Early Childhood (OEC) supports the BehaviorHelp program, which is available to assist child care program staff with concerns about the emotional well-being or behavior of an enrolled child.  To access technical assistance or support from an early childhood mental health consultant through BehaviorHelp, child care staff, parents, caseworkers, or others can submit a brief online request form using the website below.  After you submit a request, a staff member from the OEC will contact you to learn more about your concerns and will assign a BehaviorHelp team member to assist you.  Click here to submit a request for support.
