Early Intervention Enhancement Program 

The Early Intervention Enhancement Program (EIE) is a voluntary program for families with children aged birth to five years that supports the development of good mental health and wellness for before school-aged children.

The EIE program supports child wellness using a family-centered, strengths-based, and holistic approach. It provides easy access to trauma-informed and culturally safe care.

It is designed to help you promote your child's good mental health from an integrated approach by streamlining the connection of families to services and assisting families to navigate systems and develop their natural support network.

This program is available to you if:

• You have a child/children between the ages of 0 - 5 who may be eligible for two or more Early Interventions
• You are willing to engage with an integrated process
• Your child is at risk of a mental health diagnosis
• Your child is at risk of exclusion from community settings due to support needs
• Your needs cannot be adequately met through traditional services

The EIE program includes an integrated team, including an Early Years Consultant, an Infant Development Consultant, and a Family Support Worker.

Services are offered at home, in the community, or at Cranberry Child Development Centre, where our team of trained professionals will work alongside you to develop a plan that best supports your family's needs.

This program is funded by Pathway to Hope, and services are free.

We work with you to provide:

• Support to identify goals and strategies that support your child's physical, cognitive, and emotional development
• Parenting support and strategies
• Developmental screenings and assessments
• Consultations in your home, our children's center, or other places in the community
