through any door

The Engagement In Action (EnAct!) Framework aims to promote whole child health and flourishing for all children and families and sets forth a pathway to support national, state, and local efforts to establish a family and community-engaged, whole child and family well-being focused, integrated early childhood health system.


Building on decades of innovation in healthcare and early childhood systems, the EnAct! framework fosters collaborative approaches to preventive and developmental services. It supports a "Through Any Door" approach to care that ensures families can access comprehensive services for their child's health and developmental needs, regardless of where they initially seek help or support. More information and resources organized for various audiences are available below.

 

The CAHMI partnered to create the EnAct! framework with the 2017-2023 Mississippi Thrive! Child Health and Development Project initiative, which was supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration through a cooperative agreement.
