Community Programs
Overview
The Family Study Center provides varied opportunities to enhance the workforce development efforts of Infant and Family Mental Health practitioners within our community. Training opportunities are provided through structured workshops, community presentations, and webinars to enhance identified learning themes related to infant mental health, coparenting, early childhood, and family systems. Trainings are tailored to audience needs and demands and are provided on a range of topics from trauma-informed practice, to clinical interventions to implement with young children and their families. Special emphasis has been placed on building capacity for clinical interventions for young children by developing clinical expertise within the early childhood therapeutic community to incorporate evidence-based, best practice models of parent-child therapy, and co-parenting interventions.
