Infant and early childhood mental health
Infant and early childhood mental health is an emerging field of
research and outreach that applies to many areas of work with young
children and families. An ability to identify mental health issues
and offer effective solutions early in a child’s development can
help you promote lifelong well-being for individuals, families, and
communities.
The college's infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH)
program is designed to meet the needs of social workers, teachers, nurses, therapists, early
intervention specialists, program administrators, child development
specialists, and policymakers.
Program highlights
Dual tracks: The clinical track is for licensed mental health professionals
who want to build their knowledge and
skills in infant and early childhood mental health and reflective
consultation. The community track is for
front-line professionals who confront
mental-health issues in their work with young children
and their families.
Cohort model: Students progress
through the program as a group, allowing them to build close ties
with their peers.
Academic credit or CEUs: The IECMH program may be taken for academic credit or continuing
education units (CEUs).
