Waht is the Mental Health agreemetn with EArly Childhood Programs (ECP) of Northeast Iowa Community Action Corporation
The Mental Health Agreement with the Early Childhood Programs of Northeast Iowa Community Action provides the details of the collaboration between AEA 267, participating school districts, and affected Head Start Classrooms. The services provided from the AEA range from assisting in staff trainings, assist in screenings, to working with parents. I believe only a couple districts of our AEA are included within Northeast Iowa Community Action area.
