INFANT & EARLY CHILDHOOD MENTAL HEALTH
The newest program of Best Point Education & Behavioral Health helps families grow and thrive together by supporting caregivers in meeting the needs of their infants, toddlers, and young children when trauma, abuse, and/or neglect has occurred.
OUR GOALS
- Ensure child well-being and stability
- Heal and stop intergenerational transmission of trauma
- Improve the relationships in children’s lives, with particular attention to the parent/caregiver and child relationship
