TRAINING

This is a space for supporting Infant/Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) professionals in a relationship-based way

Join me in this space if you want to become the best* child and family serving professional that you can be.

If you do relationship-based work, you need relationship-based learning opportunities. We call this parallel process. We’ll learn about Infant/Early Childhood Mental Health but we’ll also learn about ourselves in the process.

We’re a good fit if you want to center relationships, culture, and self-reflection while holding the baby in mind. Especially if you work in Child Welfare, Early Care and Education, Home Visiting, or Community Mental Health.

Engaging in IECMH training with your team supports increased capacity and competency.

Infant/Early Childhood Mental Health Training Topics

Social-Emotional Development

Children develop within the context of relationships and family culture. We’ll decipher the most up to date brain science and cultivate an understanding of how the parent-child relationship and attachment can support healthy social-emotional development, setting children up for life long health and wellness.

Pregnancy, Labor, and the 4th Trimester

The psychological process of pregnancy, the birthing experience, and the fourth trimester are key moments in a developing parent-child relationship. If we have the tools to support these processes from a relationship-based perspective, we can offer the hope for healthy parent-child relationships and child development

Attachment & Attunement

Decades of research and eons of human experience have taught us about the importance of attachment on young children’s social-emotional health and development. We’ll discuss how we can best support healthy, secure attachment in parents and children that we are serving.

Family Centered Care

The client is the relationship. If we visit with parents about their child the baby is always in the room. Families decide who makes up their family. Children develop within relationships and family culture is central to child-rearing practices.

Trauma Informed Care

When young children 0-3 and their caregivers experience trauma, or live in an unsafe environment it can impact child development as well as the parent-child relationship. Together we’ll identify tools to best support families navigating trauma.
