IECMH Consultants specialize in early childhood development and mental health and well-being. They work with parents and caregivers in the early care and education setting to provide:

  • Onsite or virtual classroom observations
  • Screening/assessment strategies for children and classrooms
  • A process to identify strengths and opportunities for growth
  • Facilitate the creation of an action plan to support children and classroom staff
  • Referrals for additional supports if need is identified

Mental health consultation is not about “fixing kids.” Nor is it therapy. Mental health consultants’ partner with adults to facilitate healthy growth and development for infants and young children.  Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health consultation provides support for parents and childcare professionals who work with children experiencing persistent or puzzling challenges.
