Child Behavioral Support

Jennifer Ybarra is our Child Development Behavioral Specialist and is endorsed as a Transdisciplinary Infant-Family and Early Childhood Mental Health Practitioner by the California Center for Infant-Family and Early Childhood Mental Health. This important achievement recognizes the complexity of skills and knowledge needed to support the social and emotional development and well being of infants and young children within the context of their early relationships, family, community, and culture.

 

Early mental health services promote school readiness by strengthening early relationships, family functioning, and a child’s emotional regulation and social competence.

  • Phone consultations on behavioral concerns.

  • Behavioral education workshops offered throughout Sutter County for parents/guardians, care providers, and other adults living or working with Sutter County children aged 0-5.
