Discover how watching and wondering can bridge the gap of understanding and meaning from children's behavior in this deep dive session with our nationally recognized special guest and early IECMH Consultation pioneer, Kadija Johnston, LCSW, at the Wisconsin Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health Conference on October 14th.

Register here: tinyurl.com/2025wiamhconference

Learning Objectives:
● Understand the connection between unmet child needs and behavior and explore how relational experiences and internalized expectations of relationships shape behavior
● Explore what happens across relationships (self/other) when behavior is amplified and how to support a process of reflection and co-regulation across parent-child relationships
● Identify ways to deepen awareness of our own relational expectations and how “we are” within the process of observing, attuning to and responding to behavior

A lot has been going on in our local districts and throughout Wisconsin, not to mention what's going politically nationally... and even internationally.

Sometimes, there's such an overload of information, which is often negative, it can feel like we're reaching a breaking point. Many might be wondering, "What now? What next?"

In Session 2, "State of the State," at the Wisconsin Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health Conference, we will have a panel discussion with diverse experts covering some relevant current affairs, and how they may affect the health and well-being of young children and the IMH community.

We hope you will join us for this lively discussion!
Register here: https://wiaimh.org/conference

Learning Objectives:
● Explore the current state of IMH in Wisconsin with regard to policy, practice, workforce development, data, and system alignment and coordination
● Acknowledge the challenges and the barriers systems are facing and the implications for young children and their families
● Discuss next step recommendations, including how the IMH community can support cross-sector collaboration, ongoing policy, and funding priorities

Moderator: Julia Yeary
Panelists: Dipesh Navsaria, Linda Hall, Lana Shklyar Nenide
