Free! Improving Young Child Mental Health in North Carolina
In 2010, the North Carolina General Assembly asked the NC Institute of Medicine to convene a task force to study the adequacy of the current systems serving the mental health, social and emotional needs of young children and their families. The charge included a systematic evaluation of the needs, gaps, strengths and resources of the public and private systems providing prevention, promotion and treatment for young children’s mental health and social emotional well-being.
Join us for interactive regional workshops across the state to learn about the findings of the NC Institute of Medicine Task Force’s study.
- Gain valuable information about the importance of young child social and emotional development and how you can help to spread the word in your own communities.
- Learn from and share with others across your region about local initiatives to improve young child mental health.
We encourage you to come as a team or to bring along at least one other colleague with whom you can learn, dream and plan during the day.
Find your place in the inspiring world of young child social and emotional development and develop strategies for improving services to young children in your community and beyond!
