NM FIESTA Project Training: Psychiatric Disorders in Young Children
Learning Target: Psychiatric disorders in young children represent a significant concern within the realms of child development and mental health. These disorders can profoundly affect a child’s emotional, social, and cognitive growth, necessitating a nuanced understanding of their nature and implications. As we explore this critical topic, we will examine the various types of psychiatric disorders that may manifest during early childhood, their associated symptoms, and the vital importance of early intervention and support. Through collaborative efforts and informed practices, we can create nurturing environments that promote resilience and well-being, allowing children to thrive despite the challenges they may encounter.
The NM FIESTA Project managed by All Faiths Children’s Advocacy Center focuses on creating a support system for all resource, kinship, and adoptive families in New Mexico through networking events, training, and connection to resources.
