Workshop
The Halton Early Years Mental Health Committee (EYMHC) is a cross-sector collaboration of service providers who work with infants/young children and their families. It's a pleasure to be back again this year to present this workshop titled: «A Discussion of Mental Health in Early Childhood Settings». We are hoping to draw new participants this year to hear our content. As a result of Covid-19, research is showing that there has been a significant rise in the reporting of mental health symptoms in many caregivers and a rising concern about children’s mental health. The role you play, as early childhood professionals, for children is pivotal in promoting the mental health and well-being of all young children and their families. A child′s well-being and healthy brain development is contingent upon infants and young children having healthy relationships with their caregivers. The workshop will also reference where to find the Halton Early Years Mental Health Toolkit itself; and highlight the many resources which can help promote ongoing professional development.
Date: October 20, 2023
Time: 1:00 pm - 2:15 pm
