A child's mental health and emotional development begins during the earliest years. Even very young children can face challenges in their ability to experience, regulate, and express emotions, form close and secure relationships, and process potentially traumatic events. What can we do to nurture the mental health of young children and what therapeutic options exist to respond to their struggles? Guests: Julie Kurtz, LMFT, Director of Mental Health at Kidango, and Barbara Ivins, PhD, Clinical Director of the Parent-Infant Program and the Early Childhood Mental Health Program at the Children's Hospital and Research Center Oakland.
