Child Family Community Australia (CFCA) and Emerging Minds have released this rapid evidence review identifying prevention and early intervention programs that effectively improve the social, emotional and behavioural health of children under 5 years of age at risk of poor outcomes.

The findings provide guidance for practitioners regarding which programs are most effective to address different types of risk factors.
