Goals and Outcomes: Increase access to Reflective Consultation for early childhood educators, support professional development through I/ECMH Endorsement, increase educators’ capacity to support the mental health of all children, build stronger family-teacher relationships, stronger family engagement and collaboration reduction in disparities in access to mental health support.
The project is aimed at enhancing the mental health and early relational health of young children in early childhood education settings by providing access to Reflective Consultation (RC) and Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health (I/ECMH) Endorsement for early childhood educators. By integrating RC and I/ECMH Endorsement, the project aims to create a system of reflective practice that empowers educators to continually examine and improve their interactions with children, families, and colleagues.
