The Infant Mental Health and Attachment Course provides a unique opportunity for professionals working with young children, birth to age six, and their families in Virginia! Infant Mental Health principles focus on attachment, family systems, family-centered practices, and trauma-informed approaches. They guide service providers to think about babies, toddlers, and preschoolers as they exist within the context of their culture, communities, and their relationships. They help professionals understand the critical role relationships and a secure attachment play in a child’s overall development, school readiness, and success in later life. This course is designed to dig deeper into attachment and share practical applications and specific strategies that can be applied and used in your everyday work with young children and families.
The course is being offered over 6 Tuesday-evening sessions from September 12 – October 17, 2023 (5:15 – 8:15 PM) and will be led virtually by Dr. Christine Wing.
