The primary focus of the Early Childhood Mental Health Clinician (ECMHC) is to create nurturing environments that advance social-emotional and behavioral health outcomes among children, families, and early childhood professionals.

In addition, ECMHCs may also provide critical ancillary activities including, parent education, consultation to other early childhood serving systems (home visiting, child welfare teams), and community training on topics related to social-emotional development and wellbeing of young children.
