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.
This organization has one or more licensed clinicians who are specialty trained in serving children birth through 5 years of age and are currently using the DC: 0-5: Diagnostic Assessment for Young Children.
