Foundations of Infant/Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH)

Challenging behavior inhibits healthy learning and development, derails engagement and learning, and can leave professionals feeling stuck, stumped, and even resentful. In this workshop, participants will learn to leverage the foundations of Infant Early Childhood Mental Health, connection and regulation, to reformulate challenging behavior problems. Participants will enhance their capacity to notice with soft eyes, respond effectively to challenging behavior, and reduce disengagement and resistance in their work with children and families.
