Just wanted to thank you so much for today and your last 6 months of intensive help. You ground us so much. You remind me that all is not lost; that it is a process for all of us...Your genuine love and concern for [child's name] and our family is written all over your face.

I feel so fortunate to have participated in the PTR-YC process with an early childhood mental health consultant over the last couple years. Each time I learn something new about a child's behavior, supporting my staff and my own behavior. But what seems especially important to me is how an ECMHC can facilitate the relationship between the teachers and the family. The process is so much more meaningful when you can let go of your own expectations and really learn what a family wants for their child. What are their hopes and dreams, what drives them nuts, what are they struggling with? What do they want for their child? Through that strong connection with the family, the outcomes for the child go up incredibly. And in my experience, an early childhood mental health consultant can help build that relationship that makes the process so powerful for the child’s future. The process can be truly life-changing for families, their children, and the teachers who serve them.

It was nice to know my children were developing at the pace they should be. It was reassuring to know if there was a problem we would be able to help our child immediately.
