Webinar: Infusing Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health into Systems of Care
March 19, 2021 @ 11:30 am - 12:00 pm MDT
DESCRIPTION
This half-hour “coffee talk” webinar features a 15-minute formal presentation and 15 minutes for Q&A and discussion.
This National Training and Technical Assistance Center for Child, Youth, & Family Mental Health (NTTAC) webinar will consist of a brief overview presentation that describes considerations for building a continuum of services and supports around infant and early childhood mental health in order to expand early childhood systems of care (SOC). Drawing on work of former and current SOC grantees, NTTAC will discuss strategies for expanding infant and early childhood SOCs and cover a range of services and supports that could be expanded in building early childhood SOCs. These include promotion and prevention approaches that support social-emotional development and more intensive supports and services for young children with or at-risk for mental health diagnoses.
INTENDED AUDIENCE
- Grantees who are considering expanding SOCs into early childhood
- Grantees with more mature models of early childhood SOCs who would like to share and participate in the discussion
- Community partners who are interested in learning more about infant and early childhood mental health in the context of systems of care
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
From the discussion, participants will:
- Understand why it is important to include infant and early childhood mental health in SOCs
- Become more fluent in how SOC core values have been adapted to better fit early childhood systems
- Gain knowledge about critical components in service arrays supporting families with young children
