Building Brains Together: Partnering with Caregivers to Support Infant and Toddler Development

This training explores how professionals can strengthen outcomes in infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH) systems by partnering with caregivers.

The session will begin with a grounding definition of Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) as the capacity of young children to experience, express, and regulate emotions; form secure relationships; and explore the environment—all within the context of caregiving relationships. Through this lens, we will review developmental neuroscience, attachment theory, explore the core principles of relationship-based practice from an Infant Mental Health perspective, and examine common tensions providers face when shifting from “doing for” to “partnering with” caregivers. Using evidence-based models and implementation strategies, participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how to support caregiver capacity in ways that enhance, not replace, their professional role.

Presenter: Dr. Robert Gallen, PhD, IMH-E from the University of Pittsburgh

Target Audience: This session is designed for IT and PS Early Interventionists, Direct Service Providers, Educators, Therapists, Supervisors and Service Coordinators, Family Support Home Visiting Staff, Early Childhood Educators and Families.
