HOW CAN EARLY PATHWAYS HELP MY CHILD?
WHAT SETS US APART
For many young children, behavioral concerns may be overlooked, or you may be told your child will “grow out of it.” Many mental health clinics do not work with young children. However, Early Pathways targets children at this young age while they are still developing patterns that will continue as they grow. Working on concerns early can help set your child on a more positive pathway!
A caregiver is any adult who spends time caring for a child on a regular basis. This could be a parent, foster parent, kinship placement, grandparent, or other family member. Anyone in a caregiving role has the ability to help make a change in a young child’s life!
