La Consulta de Salud Mental en la Primera Infancia (ECMHC, por sus siglas en inglés) está ganando el interés de los educadores y las familias para brindar el apoyo que tanto se necesita dentro y fuera del aula. Uno de los elementos clave de ECMHC es que se basa en las relaciones, teniendo en cuenta al niño, la familia y el proveedor de cuidado infantil. Desde las etapas iniciales de la colaboración, es fundamental que estas relaciones tengan una base sólida entre todos los involucrados en el servicio de consulta. Los consultores de comportamiento brindan servicios de manera que sean culturalmente sensibles a las necesidades de las familias y los proveedores (basados en el hogar, centros y agencias) de las propias culturas, incluidos los aspectos étnicos, raciales y lingüísticos, socioeconómicos y religiosos. En este taller, los participantes tendrán la oportunidad de explorar y reflexionar sobre su propia interpretación de los comportamientos comunes en los niños y cómo impactan los límites, las relaciones y la exploración de la experiencia de los niños, así como la conciencia de nuestras respuestas.
