EARLY PATHWAYS
CHILD AND CAREGIVER THERAPY PROGRAM FOR DIVERSE CHILDREN
Early childhood is a critical period of development that sets the stage for a child’s future. Many toddlers and preschoolers need specialized interventions to set them on a positive early pathway. Early Pathways is a therapy program that works with both the caregiver and the child on behavioral and emotional concerns. This model was developed through research to work with a wide range of families from diverse cultural backgrounds and family structures. Families working with Early Pathways for their child will learn skills to reduce concerns and strengthen the child’s positive functioning. Mental health professionals can be trained and certified to implement Early Pathways in clinics or in-home settings with children ages 0-6 years.
OUR MISSION
Early Pathways, LLC will train community professionals in providing mental health care to young children and families, thus increasing access to evidence-based, home-based, trauma-focused treatment to very young children, ages 0-6.
A three-fold mission of the Early Pathways program is to train graduate students and community professionals to provide mental health care to young children and their families, provide mental health services for children six years of age and younger, and conduct applied research disseminate findings.
