Mental Health Matters

Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (IECMHC) pairs mental health consultants with early childhood professionals to build their capacity to nurture social and emotional development in infants and young children, reduce challenging behaviors, improve teachers’ confidence and knowledge, reduce preschool suspensions and expulsions, and reduce racial disparities in teacher-child conflict.
