Goals and Outcomes: The overall goal of this project is to expand the IECMH Workforce in Oklahoma. The project categorizes the workforce into three main groups: high school students, college students, and current practitioners.
This project will serve individuals currently pursuing or interested in pursuing mental health certifications with a focus on IECMH. It is designed to strengthen the continuum of practitioners able to provide infant mental health support and consultation in community-based settings. To build a strong and diverse workforce, the project will offer various opportunities, including paid internships, financial assistance for endorsements, reflective supervision, and Internal Family Systems training, to a wide range of individuals— from high school students to clinical practitioners.
