Does intervening early really demonstrate good outcomes for young children and families?

Jul 2, 2025 | Quick Answers

Yes! In fact, we know that early intervention works.

Evidence-informed IECMH interventions demonstrate a return of $3.64 per dollar invested.

We also know that positive early relationships and experiences have a lasting impact on a child’s health, behavior, and overall well-being throughout their lives.

Relationships with safe, stable and nurturing adults form the neurological foundations for all future learning and development, are a buffer against toxic stress, and are a factor towards building resilience.
