Welcome to the Advanced Clinical Training (ACT) Program
for Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health
Mission…
The ACT Program goals are to expand, diversify, train, and retain/sustain the infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH, aka early relational health) workforce to engage in relationship-centered, empirically informed, culturally-responsive, anti-racist, anti-oppressive, healing-forward, and developmentally focused services. In turn, this effort expands more equitable access to the full range of infant and early childhood mental health services, including clinical and consultative services, for children and families in Washington and neighboring states.
…Healing Relationships
“The goal of the healing process is to create more integration in the brain.
Social engagement system facilitates integration.”
