The program emphasizes integrating early childhood mental health into primary care, specialty medical care, and community settings to reach under-served populations. The program is committed to using a diversity, equity, and inclusion-informed perspective in both training and service delivery.  As a Harris Professional Development Network site, we strive to uphold the principles outlined in the Diversity-Informed Tenets for work with Infants, Children and Families.

The Colorado-based Harris Infant Mental Health Fellowship Program sponsors a 1-year clinical and didactic fellowship in early childhood mental health, development, parent-child therapy, and consultation beginning in September each year. Clinical sites focus on reaching under-served populations with a high proportion of Spanish-speaking families served. PhD/PsyD in clinical, school, or counseling psychology and APA-accredited internship required; demonstrated interest/experience with perinatal populations, and infants/young children preferred.
