This training course was created and is owned by The Pyramid Model Consortium: Supporting Early Childhood Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports.

This course supports Early Intervention professionals who complete evaluations in making informed decisions about young children’s social-emotional development during the evaluation process. Grounded in the CASEL framework and Pennsylvania’s Early Learning Standards, it emphasizes developmental and cultural perspectives, the use of multiple sources of information, and how skills across developmental domains interact in meaningful ways within everyday routines. This course also addresses when and how to use targeted, research-based social-emotional assessments to support accurate Early Intervention eligibility decisions and recommendations.

Designed for professionals who support children from birth through age five, including infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, this interactive training provides developmentally appropriate strategies to promote early mental health and well-being. Grounded in the principles of Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH), the session emphasizes the importance of nurturing early relationships and environments that foster emotional and social development from birth to age five. Using an IECMH perspective, participants will explore how trauma can disrupt a child’s ability to form secure attachments, regulate emotions, and feel safe. Through a trauma-informed lens, they will learn to recognize behavioral indicators of trauma and apply universal strategies that promote resilience and healing in young children.

The session also highlights the critical role of caregiver well-being, offering accessible self-care practices that can be integrated into daily routines. Emphasis will be placed on collaboration among early interventionists, educators, caregivers, and other professionals to create a supportive network for children affected by trauma. Using group discussions, video examples, and take-home resources, participants will leave with a strengthened understanding of trauma-informed care and self-care practices to support practitioner well-being as well as the adults who care for them.
