Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation at Homeless Children's Network: Findings from July 2024 to June 2025

The purpose of this report is to evaluate Homeless Children’s Network’s Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (HCN’s ECMHC) program. This evaluation continues our exploration of Homeless Children's Network’s (HCN) Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (ECMHC) program. As an extension to last year’s evaluation (Shivers et al., 2024), this report aims to uplift the voices of consultees to understand the unique needs, experiences, and growth of consultees in settings where HCN’s ECMHC was provided.

The present evaluation explores HCN’s ECMHC program throughout the 2024-2025 fiscal year. This evaluation includes the experiences, perceptions, and growth/change experienced by consultees across settings where ECMHC was provided: Shelters, FRCs, ECE sites, and SFUSD sites.
