The Harris Program provides clinical training, consultation, advocacy, and research opportunities in perinatal, infant, and early childhood mental health. The Harris Program emphasizes integrating early childhood mental health into primary care, specialty medical care, and community settings to reach under-served populations.

The Colorado Harris Program sponsors a 1-year clinical and didactic fellowship in early childhood mental health, development, parent-child therapy and consultation beginning September each year. Clinical sites focus on reaching under-served populations with a high proportion of Spanish speaking families served.
