5C2 - Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health Pbacc Cert
Program description
The University of Minnesota online Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) Certificate Program is an intensive, interdisciplinary postbaccalaureate training program for students and professionals in domains of mental health, health and early care, and education.
The program serves to deepen the knowledge and skills of individuals working in birth-to-five prevention, intervention, program administration, and policy development, and to prepare individuals to provide leadership in expanding the breadth and depth of relationship-based services and policies.
The IECMH certificate program is founded on a core set of principles of infant and early childhood mental health practice, asserting that services to families should be relationship-based, culturally sensitive, grounded in an understanding of developmental theory and research with special attention to the effects of trauma and supported by reflective practice.
