Join the growing network of HealthySteps sites in Colorado

"I love seeing the babies and families grow together every time they come in. Being a teammate for families early on destigmatizes mental health before concerns become issues. My providers refer to me as the expert in early childhood mental health for alignment of the team. The families see this and recognize this.”

ABCD works closely with you to explore HealthySteps implementation and decide if it’s right for your practice.

Becoming a HealthySteps site means working with seasoned experts on implementing a well-tested roadmap to enhance the way primary care is delivered to the youngest patients in your practice.

The exploration process begins with a learning session with ABCD at your practice. During this session, ABCD staff will describe the HealthySteps program in detail and explain the onboarding process.  

Among the questions you’ll want to consider are whether you’re ready to:

• Select a Physician Champion to support HealthySteps within your practice

• Secure funding for a HealthySteps Specialist, onboarding and training, with assistance from ABCD to identify potential funding sources

• Commit to integrating a HealthySteps Specialist into your practice through a team-based approach to patient care

From there, ABCD will support you in completing the exploratory and onboarding process through ZERO TO THREE. Working with ABCD saves you time and allows for customized training for your community and team. After training, your site will not only receive continued support from ABCD but also access to experts and resources from HealthySteps and ZERO TO THREE.
