2010 Special Program: Early Childhood Mental Health Systems of Care: Evidence Base and Best Practices
AACAP would like to invite you to attend the 2010 Special Program, Early Childhood Mental Health Systems of Care: Evidence Base and Best Practices, taking place in New York, NY, on Monday, October 25, 2010 from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM. The program is sponsored by the Center for Mental Health Services and AACAP's Work Group on Systems of Care.
This day-long program explores the science and state of clinical practice in the early childhood arena to provide attendees with pragmatic tools for application in clinical settings in which child psychiatrics may be consultants and providers of care. Charles Zeanah, M.D., will focus on protective and pathogenic factors during development as a prelude to elucidating potential child psychiatric contributions for very young children and their families. You will then hear a review of the current state of mental health programming for this population across the country along with a review of the evolving evidence-base for these early childhood efforts. A special lunch presentation by Janice Cooper, Ph.D. will honor the career of Jane Knitzer, Ph.D., author of Unclaimed Children, with a focus on current research and advocacy efforts of the National Center for Children in Poverty. Afternoon session will address the clinical pragmatics and tools relevant to mental health practice in the arena of early childhood services as well as features of community-based practices that are necessary for successful engagement of young families.
