Healthcare

Being infant and early childhood mental health informed means using knowledge, skills and reflective experiences to guide our work with infants, toddlers, and families.

In healthcare, this means:

  • Providing comprehensive, compassionate, culturally effective care that integrates behavioral health and relationship needs of infants, toddlers, and  parents when either one presents for service

  • Offering preventive care that systematically screens for parental depression, signs of toxic stress, developmental milestones, and provides bridges to services that are offered within a relationship-based context when indicated

Interested in Endorsement®?
