Mission

The mission of the Barnard Center for Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health is to promote interdisciplinary research and training related to infant and early childhood mental health. During the first five years, as children learn to experience, express and regulate emotions, form close relationships, and explore and learn from the environment, we say they are thriving according to the principles of infant and early childhood mental health.

Core Services Offered

Research and evaluation on early intervention, home visiting, and developmental trajectories; intervention programs for families and caregivers of children facing adversity; and training, courses, and professional development.
