Our understanding of how children develop in the early years has increased dramatically in the last few decades of brain research and study. We now know that the infant, toddler, and preschool years set the stage for later development and that timely support and informed intervention can make an enormous contribution to the well being of our children. The Post-Graduate Center is pleased to offer a continuing education program focused on the social, emotional, and behavioral assessment and treatment of young children (birth through five) and their families.
Program Overview
The Early Childhood Mental Health Certificate Program is a 12 to 24-month continuing education experience for the variety of professionals already in the early childhood-family field and for those with advanced mental health degrees desiring to expand their services to families with young children. Group learning, mentorship, and networking experiences provide theoretical and applied content, immersion in a community of providers, and guidance in applying new learning to current practice. Certificate program faculty are experts in early childhood mental health and are currently administrators or providers of clinical services to young children. A certificate of completion is awarded to those who participate in all program components. Psychology, nursing, counseling and social work CEUs are provided.
