Infant mental health utilizes an evidenced <br /> based practice called Child Parent Psychotherapy. Child Parent Psychotherapy is a dyadic treatment model that <br /> works with the infant and their primary caregiver. A developmental assessment as well as trauma history of the <br /> child and the primary caregivers history is collected. This model recognizes how trauma plays a role in the child's <br /> development and attachment. Through teaching the primary caregiver the meaning of behavior, enhancing safety <br /> and learning emotional regulation skills, the child will be able to gain a normal developmental trajectory. This means <br /> the child will be able to learn, socialize adequately and manage their feelings to be a productive student in school <br /> and in life. <br /> • <br /> 2017044 Page 3 of 25 05/03/2017 <br />
