The positive impact of Early Childhood Mental Health Consultation (ECMHC) on children, families, teachers and child care programs has been well established in large-scale evaluations in many states. Findings from rigorous studies (i.e., random- controlled experiments, quasi-experimental and mixed methods studies) underscore that access to ECMHC reduces serious problems that undermine school readiness in American children. Children's social and emotional capacity is strongly linked to school readiness.
There are 3 forms of mental health consultation provided by Smart Support: Child-Focused; Classroom-Focused; and Program-Focused. These 3 forms of consultation are often delivered concurrently. Smart Support provides intensive weekly services by highly qualified, masters-level consultants.
