Attachment and Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health
with Tracy Walters
As I collaborate more and more with practitioners in the Early Intervention field, I recognize that EI is more than a discipline and profession, it is also a “movement” in supporting and protecting young children and families. This past week at the CCSS conference, I had an amazing opportunity to talk with so many colleagues that I have partnered with over the last several years, and it was extremely meaningful hearing about your work.
I want to extend an opportunity that may enhance the work that you are currently doing. This fall I will be teaching an Attachment Course through VCU’s Continuing Studies department. It is a Six Week Session offered online for professionals working in the field with young children and families. The course will focus on Infant Mental Health principles, attachment, family systems, family centered practices and trauma-informed approaches. It is an opportunity for professionals to consider and exchange dialogue about babies, toddlers, and preschoolers as they exist within the context of their culture, communities, and their relationships. This course will help professionals deepen their understanding of the critical role relationships and a secure attachment play in a child’s overall development, school readiness, and success in later life. The course will allow the professional to build a repertoire of practical applications and specific strategies that can be applied and used in your everyday work with young children and families.
