Bekman Psychology is pleased to announce the launch of Project ACORN: Advancing COlorado’s Response to the Mental Health Needs of Young Children. From little acorns might oaks grow.
Project ACORN aims to expand and strengthen Colorado’s perinatal, infant and early childhood mental health workforce by providing specialized trainings in evidence-based treatments for young children aged 0-5 and their families.
Who is Colorado’s IECMH workforce?
Colorado’s IECMH workforce is vast and includes both clinical mental health providers and non-clinical professionals who play vital roles in the lives of very young children. If you work with young children in Colorado, please consider joining us!
Project ACORN will offer a number of trainings to expand Colorado’s capacity to promote the healthy social emotional development of young children and to provide treatment when early beginnings have been bumpy and compromised the mental health of Colorado’s littlest residents. Project ACORN offerings are grounded in the science of infant/early childhood development and the premise that young children’s healing is best facilitated in the context of their primary caregiving relationships.
Want a sneak peak of what’s to come? Here’s some of what we have planned to bring to Colorado to support our IECMH workforce:
Ripple Effect with Dr. Chandra Ghosh Ippen
Perinatal mental health training
Lunch N Learns for Allied Professionals
And more!
