These communities of practice allow Head Start home staff to connect around early childhood topics, including classroom teaching, home visiting, health, safety, family and community engagement, and mental health. Local program staff lends support to fellow early childhood professionals across the country.

The National Center on Health, Behavioral Health, and Safety partners with Illuminate Colorado to provide free training and materials. They also bring the Conversation Guide for Professionals on Substance Use, Children, and Families to Head Start staff. The Conversation Guide is a tool that provides ideas and resources to help professionals use strength-based conversations when working with families. The Guide focuses on helping professionals address substance use, safe and engaged caregiving, and protective factors that promote child and family well-being.

These office hours orient new health managers to the knowledge, skills, and practices needed to establish and oversee Head Start health services. Learn how the Health Manager Orientation Guide and the Head Start Health Services Competencies can support your  daily work. Each 90-minute session includes Q&A facilitated by experienced staff and our subject matter experts.
