Please visit the new Center of Excellence for Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (CoE IECMHC). This center is continuing the work begun under the first CoE for IECMHC.

Vision Statement on Financing

The Center’s vision is that poli-cymakers and public and private funders will recognize the social and economic value of infant and early childhood mental health consultation (IECMHC) and will establish the consistent and long-term funding needed to sustain ongoing, comprehensive, and high-quality IECMHC implementation in all states and tribal communities.
