Holding the People Who Hold the Baby
We hosted this free national webinar with AIMHiTN for child welfare teams and leaders. Speakers from Georgetown, Arizona and Wisconsin talked about what infant and early childhood mental health consultation looks like inside child welfare, and how it supports the people who hold the baby.
In partnership withAssociation of Infant Mental Health in Tennessee (opens in a new tab)
A baby melts down after a family visit. One reading says the visits are too disruptive. Another says of course it's hard to leave the people you love. She may need more connection, not less. Seeing that depends on the adults around her.
- Consultation isn't another training. It's ongoing, reflective support for caseworkers, caregivers, home visitors and supervisors, so they stay steady and stay in the work.
- Early findings. What child welfare leaders in more than a dozen states told us.
- Who it's for. Caseworkers, supervisors, foster and kin caregivers, home visitors, IECMH professionals, child welfare leaders, and anyone working with babies and toddlers.
