Foundations of Infant/Early Childhood Mental Health

(IECMH):Core Principles and Practices

Join Us!

RIAIMH is offering a 12-hour training series designed for professionals in the infant and early childhood community who are interested in learning about (or reviewing) core IECMH concepts. In this series, professionals will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the importance of IECMH principles and practice as related to their work.  We will discuss and explore: a) early development and mental health core concepts; b) the critical role of relationships for optimal developmental outcomes; c) the role of culture in relationship building and caregiving practices and d) the power of reflection and self-awareness to support a strong working alliance with families.
