“The needs of our littlest ones and our workforce are great; integrating mental health and education into the settings where our babies grow and learn is imperative for their optimal development. This book is a generous invitation to consider how intentionally bridging these two frameworks of Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) and the Pyramid Model benefits not only babies, toddlers, and young children, but also the families and adults and the systems that were created to serve them.”
—Meghan Schmelzer, LMSW, IECMH-E®, Senior IECMH Policy Manager, ZERO TO THREE
