Infant Mental Health Training

This training utilizes vignettes and video demonstrations to highlight skills and techniques for working with infants. Real life scenarios, practical application and examples are useful when discussing factors relative to a child’s development, attachment and relationships. The training encourages participants to consider the roles of natural helpers, caregivers and professionals and how each impacts the lives of children and caregivers. The training will be offered in a three part series, with two day increments.
