Early Childhood Mental Health Program

Organization Description

ECMHP provides at risk families with children 0-6 who have experienced complex trauma . We provide dyadic therapy, wraparound services, preschool consultation, and we also have a therapeutic nursery for children that cannot be maintained in a typical school environment due to their challenging behaviors.

Program Information

Your student will be facilitating a social group in our therapeutic classroom with up to four children to enhance the children's ability to use pro-social behaviors, to increase their ability to function within a group, and to support them to demonstrate age appropriate skills.
