Investing in the mental health care of the youngest Ontarians pays lifelong dividends to children, their families and their communities.

Based on our shared expertise and that of our 23-member advisory committee, this paper offers up eight key recommendations to guide our collective response to support positive mental heath and well-being in Ontario’s three- to six-year-olds.
