Integrating infant mental health services into early education
programs leads to better child outcomes and stronger parent-child
relationships-the big question is how to do it appropriately and
effectively. Clear answers are in this accessible textbook, created
to prepare early childhood professionals and programs to weave best
practices in mental health into their everyday work. Ideal for
preservice university courses, in-service professional development,
and program administrators, this introductory text combines the
authoritative guidance of more than a dozen respected mental health
and early childhood experts. Professionals will get a primer on
infant mental health, strengthening their knowledge of key issues
such as screening and assessment, attachment, emotional
dysregulation and aggression, risk and resilience, maternal
depression, and children's exposure to trauma. Then they'll get
practical, research-based guidance they can use to -recognize
indicators of mental health problems in very young children,
including emotional dysregulation and behavioral and developmental
changes -promote parents' and caregivers' mental health through
direct and indirect supports, including regular mental health
screening, community partnerships with mental health providers, and
parent education -build on child and family strengths and mitigate
risk factors such as poverty and violence -strengthen parent-child
relationships and interactions through play and effective
caregiving routines -maintain their own mental health, building
positive relationships with co-workers and reducing the effects of
compassion fatigue and secondary stress -participate in reflective
supervision to sharpen their ability to think critically and solve
problems -conduct sound program evaluation that includes the input
of families, staff, and the surrounding culture and community work
effectively with outside mental health consultants when child and
family needs extend beyond the program's scope With this highly
readable introduction to key mental health principles, the next
generation of early childhood professionals will fully understand
the latest research and best practice-so they can support optimal
caregiver-child relationships, enhance professional collaboration,
and strengthen child development.
