“It may be most helpful to define the Infant Mental Health Specialist not as a member of a particular discipline,
but rather as someone with a distinct set of core beliefs, skills, training experiences,
and clinical strategies who incorporates a comprehensive, intensive and relationship-based approach
to working with young children and families.”1 Providers listed in this directory utilize the following clinical strategies1,2
in their work with young children and their families:
1.
| Building relationships and using them as instruments of change.
|
| 2. | Meeting with the infant and parent together throughout the period of intervention.
|
| 3. | Sharing in the observation of the infant’s growth and development.
