We are super excited to share an Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health training opportunity specific to CSOC system partner and provider practitioners! This is an opportunity born of the work Montclair has done with CSOC to support work force development with IIC providers through a clinical practice series. This opportunity is at no cost to the participant.

Montclair State University Experts are offering 4 different Virtual Training sessions of Foundations of Birth to Five Practice for Practitioners

System Partner Practitioners can register for a session with the following link:
