Understanding Infant Mental Health and Incorporating Strategies Into Your Practice
By Joanne McCrory. M.S., Social Emotional Consultant in Early Intervention
This presentation will discuss an overview of Infant Mental Health (IMH) as the foundation for all development. This will include a definition of IMH – 0-3, and how IMH principles impact the work of those working with young children and families. Also addressed will be three of the primary mechanisms in the development of IMH: Co-regulation, attachment, and goodness of fit. Concluding with a focus on ways in which providers are able to incorporate specific mental health strategies and techniques into their practice regardless of their professional discipline.
