A Day in the Life of an Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant

Early childhood mental health consultation (ECMHC) is an indirect, prevention based service provided within early care and education programs to promote successful social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes in infants and young children. The Center for Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation recently released a new paper that describes the general process of ECMHC using real-life vignettes to illustrate what consultants do within early care and education settings in collaboration with families, teachers, children and other partners every day. It is meant to help facilitate the integration of best practices in ECMHC into early childhood systems of care.
