Early Childhood Mental Health

Early Childhood Mental Health (ECMH) Consultants work in the region to support the following goals:

1. Reduce the number of children expelled from ECE due to behavior issues.
2. Increase the understanding of social and emotional development and its impact on educational success.
3. Link and bridge systems and services on behalf of a child, family and program.

What does an ECMH Consultant do?

• Provide child-specific consultation services to children ages six weeks to five years.
• Encourage and/or model universal screening tools, such as the Ages & Stages, to identify children who may need additional support.
• Observe child and classroom environment and provide recommendations to promote a healthy social emotional development.
• Provide professional development to practitioners to increase the knowledge of social emotional development.
• Support practitioners and parents to access community resources.
