CBTI Director Betsy Leutz and staff members Mary Watson Avery and Laura Beals, the Aspire Institute’s Barbara Joseph, and a team of talented consultants have just completed a 1½-hour narrated online module, Supporting Infant and Early Childhood Social-Emotional Well-being: Introduction to Theory and Practice.
The module, development of which has been supported through a contract with the Massachusetts Early Intervention Training Center (EITC), introduces concepts of infant and early childhood mental health within the context of families, communities and provider practice. It may serve as either a stand-alone overview or as the introduction to further training and reflective practice in infant and early childhood mental health and social-emotional development.
Online hosting of the module, through the EITC, is expected to begin in early FY’13. Participants will register for the training through the EITC and will be eligible for continuing education credits when they successfully complete all module activities. The module may be taken as a stand-alone or as Module 1 of CBTI’s revised (2012) IN-TIME Training in Infant/Early Childhood Mental Health.
