Crosswalks to the Endorsement Competencies

The Competency Guidelines can be used to build a comprehensive infant and early childhood mental health system.

They create a shared framework or "map" for professional development across all sectors and disciplines of the infant, early childhood and family field across the full spectrum of service delivery, including promotion, prevention, treatment and intervention, and macro. Additionally, they outline the requirements for Endorsement by guiding one's development of knowledge, skills & best practices, gained through specialized experiences (education, work, in-service training, and reflective supervision/consultation).

The Competency Guidelines are aligned with many in-service training/curriculum, evidence-based practice models, certificates and secondary education programs.
