Early Childhood Mental Health Services
Mental health services for young children and their families
Description
Mental health services that can support healthy parenting when either the caregiver or the child is affected by emotional or behavioral concerns. For caregivers, this may be a history of postpartum depression, trauma, anxiety, other mental illness, or substance use. For young children, this may be challenging behaviors, trouble with eating or sleeping, tantrums, or other emotional or behavioral problems.
These services are especially important for young children or parents/caregivers who have experienced trauma, such as abuse, neglect, violence, or other stressful or scary events in life.
Additional Information
Together with parents and caregivers, trained specialists work to understand and assess a child's struggles in order to provide individualized tailored recommendations and interventions that support social and emotional development.
They offer specialized assessments as well as individual and family therapy and/or skills training.
