Infant and early childhood mental health includes the capacities for developing enjoyable, trusting relationships with others; experiencing, communicating, and managing a range of emotions; and playing and learning. Nurturing relationships with loving, capable, consistent caregivers provide the context for developing these abilities, which create the foundation for continued growth and success across childhood and beyond.
This 5-module, 15 hour training provides an introduction to foundational themes in the field and practice of infant and early childhood mental health. Participants will learn trends in current research and theory related to early development, relationships, and professional practice, and will engage in collaborative discussions and learning activities designed to illustrate principles of infant and early childhood mental health and the use of reflective, relationship-based approaches in understanding and supporting infants, young children, and their families.
ESIT providers are eligible for this training.
