The goal of the Early Intervention Training Institute (EITI) is to increase the capacity of community-based and educational agencies in identifying children who are at risk for emotional, behavioral, and social challenges by training professionals to effectively assist these children and their families.
The goal of providing these trainings is to do as follows:
- Increase awareness and knowledge of children's healthy social and emotional development.
- Increase skills and competencies in relation to responding to children's early behavioral and emotional problems.
- Increase the ability to appropriately identify and refer children in need of mental health services.
These trainings are being provided to "gatekeepers' in the mental health provider community who have limited expertise in the emerging fields of "0-5" mental health, including: mental health professionals, social service providers, childcare and day care providers, primary care staff, public health nurses, and preschool teachers.

SAVE THE DATE: "Goodness of Fit" in the Foster Care System: Considering the Critical Needs of Infants and Young Children in the Child Welfare System.
February 19, 2010
Many cultural and systematic beliefs influence how the Child Welfare System views the needs of infants and young children. These faulty belief systems underlie decisions made when these children enter the system, putting many infants and young children at high risk for severe trauma resulting from abrupt home removal, out-of-home and foster care placements that provide only custodial care, and multiple changes of placements. It is critical that clinicians and service providers develop more refined skills when assessing and planning interventions for these children and families. This training will use case examples and video clips to illustrate concepts and interventions that can be integrated into immediate practice.
