Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation: Promotion of Mental Health and Prevention of Mental and Behavioral Disorders. 2005 Series, Volume 1

摘要

The vital public health issue of promoting healthy development and the future well-being of infants, toddlers, and preschool children has important implications for families, businesses, private philanthropy, and government. This monograph, Volume I of a series, had its genesis at the May 1998 'Roundtable on Mental Health Consultation Approaches for Programs/Systems Working with Infants, Toddlers, and Preschoolers, and Their Families.' Its goal was to exchange information. The then Georgetown University Child Development Center convened this meeting at the request of and with funding by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS). The center collaborated with the CMHS Prevention Initiatives Priority and Program Development Branch to conduct the meeting.
