The Center of Excellence (CoE) IECMHC Equity Chat Series is designed to provide a forum to further dialogue on equity topics in order to support more equitable systems and strengthen culturally responsive IECMHC practices to reduce disparities and improve child outcomes.  

This month the CoE will introduce the revised IECMHC Equity Toolkit. We will review the components and format of the Equity Toolkit so that mental health consultants, supervisors, etc. can use the resources in ways that deepen our awareness, understanding, and commitment to integrating a racial equity lens into all aspects of our IECMHC work. Some of the themes covered in the Equity Toolkit and this month’s equity chat will include:

1. Learn about disparities in the experiences of young children of color and children from other marginalized communities in early childhood settings.
2. Explore the role of the consultant in supporting equity in IECMHC.
3. Explore how to use the Equity Toolkit individually and with colleagues in order to understand how to support more equitable systems and strengthen culturally responsive IECMHC practices to reduce disparities and improve child outcomes.

At registration, please list any accommodations you may require by 2:00pm EST, March 3rd. A good-faith effort will be made to fulfill requests.
