Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation Services

Teams a mental health professional with licensed early care and education providers and with families. Through the development of these partnerships, the program builds the capacity of ECE providers to understand the influence of relationships and interactions on young children's social and emotional development. Individualized strategies are developed to create positive environments and foster nurturing interactions that will reduce the likelihood of challenging behaviors. By working together, children are ready for school and the risk of expulsions are reduced.
