Consultation
Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation involves support for early learning professionals in forming strong relationships with a child or children with exceptional challenges. The consultative process may include observations of the child in the early learning setting or home, supporting adult reflective capacity, consideration of a child's sensory experience, relational approach, patterns of regulation & dysregulation, and strengths. My work as an Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant is currently through System 1-2-3.
