P2.01 REDICa: Model of Professional Training in Service, Provision of Comprehensive Care in Early Childhood, Articulation Between Health and Education, and Partnership Between the Territory and the University Presenting Author: Laisa Liane Paineiras Domingos (Brazil) Affiliation: Federal University of Bahia, Brazil Co-Authors: Regiane da Silva Barbosa, Eduarda do Val Reis, Darci Neves Santos, Sheila de Quadros Uzêda Interventions in collective health are constituted by a multifactorial approach, involving family, territory, health agents, education spaces, and professionals committed to health promotion. The more plural the professional team, the greater the possibility of effective identification of needs and their interventions. In early childhood, collective health reinforces the importance of articulating knowledge such as nursing, medicine, speech therapy, psychology, nutrition, dentistry, physiotherapy and social assistance to offer integrated care during child development. Conceived from the Zika Virus epidemic that occurred in Brazil in 2016, the Multiprofessional Residency in Collective Health with an emphasis on Child Development in the Community (REDICa), of the Institute of Collective Health of the Federal University of Bahia in co- management with the School of Public Health of Bahia, has been developing this in-service training, with a multidisciplinary approach and the articulation between health and education. P2.02 Towards Comprehensive Early Childhood Intervention: Addressing the Core Care Conditions of Children and Families Presenting Author: Tim Moore (Australia) Affiliation: Centre for Community Child Health, Murdoch Children's Research Institute, Australia How comprehensive can and should early childhood intervention (ECI) services be? To answer this, we need to understand the role that the conditions in which families are living play in helping children, parents, and families flourish. This paper describes these core conditions and how they can be met. Services (including ECI services) are part of the core conditions, but the overall conditions under which families are raising young children have a greater impact on outcomes than the services they receive. Children with developmental disabilities and their families are at risk of not receiving the same core conditions as other children and therefore of not achieving the same outcomes. The implications for ECI services are explored. To ensure that families have the best outcomes, ECI services need to be part of a comprehensive system of services capable of addressing all the core care conditions, not only the services they need.
