What is Infant-Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation?
Sometimes called social and emotional health, Infant-Early Childhood Mental Health refers to the emotional and mental health and wellness of very young children and their caregivers and families. Infant-Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (IECMHC) partners mental health professionals with early childhood professionals to:
- Strengthen and support the efforts of families, child care providers and early childhood systems to promote the optimal social and emotional development of children
- Prevent, identify and reduce the impact of mental health challenges for children and families
IECMHC supports the social and emotional well-being of children and adult caregivers, nurtures responsive relationships and can help with the early identification of social, emotional, behavioral and developmental challenges.
