This session focuses on defining Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) and its importance for healthy socioemotional development. The discussion includes how to recognize symptoms of unhealthy IECMH, and practical approaches that professionals can use to improve it. Additionally, participants consider the importance of addressing IECMH in children and their families who have been historically marginalized.
