Project Description:

infants and their caregivers do not always form satisfying relationships that meet the needs of the young child, nor do young children necessarily outgrow developmental, emotional, or behavioral problems. However, young children and families do respond to early clinical evaluation and therapeutic intervention.The past 20 years have brought an increased recognition of mental health disturbances in very young children including disturbances in mood; difficulties in regulation of feeding, sleep, or attention; sensory or relational difficulties; and withdrawn or aggressive behavior. This program offers a Continuing Education Certificate to members of an interdisciplinary cohort who participate in a 13 month program that includes didactic classes, reflective practice mentor groups, clinical consultation, and applied assignments.
