Mental Health Begins by Birth (Part 1)

The first 5 years of a child’s life is a very important development period that informs the whole lifetime. When this is negatively impacted by trauma or stress,

supportive relationships can make a huge difference. This ARCh-sponsored workshop series will build understanding of infant and early childhood mental

health. It will discuss the impact of traumatic experiences on early development and considers how you can make a difference in a young child’s life.

The ARCh Project seeks to reduce disparities in IECMH outcomes for children and families. These disparities are impacted by the identities we each hold, including race, ethnicity, and primary language, among others. For this reason, justice, equity, diversity, identity, and belonging are explored and addressed in this and every ARCh project activity and training.
