Why Early Interventions and Early Childhood Mental Health Services Matter
Young child development can be negatively impacted by a number of adverse factors, including disruptions in attachment that can be caused by parental substance abuse, parental mental health issues or traumatic loss. A child’s mental health issues should be treated promptly and within the context of their caregiving relationship.
Early interventions and early childhood mental health (ECMH) services can prevent or mitigate the negative effects of maltreatment, neglect, trauma or loss.
