South Carolina Infant Mental Health Association's Study Group is a professional development opportunity open to all SCIMHA members. 

SCIMHA's study group is an interactive experience that works best when all attendees actively participate. Discussion will focus on how our work and life experiences relate to the information shared in the professional development offering. 

Applying a Developmental Lens to Child Welfare Work

SCIMHA's study group will meet to review an episode in a podcast series on Early Development and Child Welfare created by CEED and the Center for Advanced Studies in Child Welfare. The series of 10 episodes covers a range of important aspects of child development and child welfare work. 

In this episode, Christine Cole, LCSW, IMH-E® interviews Kristin Irrer, IMH-E® to discuss how recognizing the various developmental needs of children is crucial for child welfare workers in order to appropriately engage with youth and families.
