Infant Mental Health (IMH) and the Pyramid Model (PM) are two frameworks with an important common goal: supporting the mental health and social-emotional well-being of infants, young children and their families. For the first time ever, one book integrates these two frameworks to create a more effective, knowledgeable, and responsive early childhood workforce.

Developed by a team of visionary early childhood experts, this timely book debunks misunderstandings around IMH and PM and clearly illustrates how these two approaches can combine to support better outcomes for children and families. This book reviews the core concepts of both approaches and explores how integrating them can help programs and professionals:

Strengthen professional development by implementing an integrated reflective practice approach
Work effectively for diversity, equity, inclusion, belonging, and justice
Use a trauma-informed approach to support healing in young children and families
Apply evidence-based strategies to address behaviors that parents and teachers find challenging
Act as both “stress detective” and co-regulator when children are dysregulated
Understand and respond to children’s needs rooted in multidisciplinary perspectives
Increase parental confidence and strengthen the parent–child relationship
Enhance data-informed decision-making
Use the best of mental health consultation and Pyramid Model coaching to meet infants’ and young children’s needs
