Reflective of the interdisciplinary field of study, research, and clinical practice, the California Center brings together key stakeholders and consultants, called Associates. Associates are infant-family and early childhood specialists and leaders throughout the state who conduct training programs and work with practitioners from several disciplines and systems of care. They work with the California Center leadership to build strong links in the field of early childhood mental health, provide expert advice and guidance, and build a base of support by informing the field about our work in the field.
