Data

OASIS (Online Analytical Statistical Information System)

OASIS is a suite of interactive tools used to access the Georgia Department of Public Health's standardized health data repository and is populated with Vital Statistics (births, deaths, emergency room visits, survey data, sexually transmitted diseases, etc.)

Stats of the States (CDC data for each state on births, causes of death, and other state data)

Mental Health Resources

Through a series of five interactive webinars, educators and caregivers explore in-depth strategies to support the language development of young children. Risk factors and their impacts on mental health and social-emotional well-being were explored in detail including the critical role of language as an indicator of children’s needs and a key component in understanding behavior.
