Prerequisites:
The seeds of mental health are planted in the early years. Through discussions and case studies, students will explore how young children experience emotions, how they express emotions and a range of feelings, and the significant role of the attachment and other primary relationships throughout the early years. Building on this knowledge, developmental constructs such as regulation and resilience will be explored. Students will examine the issue of risk and protective factors and resiliency in child development and how these factors influence children in the early years. Finally, strategies and tools to observe and screen early mental health will be explored.
