Connected Beginnings Institute

CONNECTED BEGINNINGS Training Institute provides, coordinates and evaluates training statewide in the field of infant and early childhood mental health.

Mission
Connected Beginnings Training Institute promotes awareness of the central importance of relationships in the lives of infants and young children. Our work extends the capacity of infant and early childhood practitioners and programs to understand and apply current knowledge of the effects of relationships on very young children’s social and emotional well being, evolving brain architecture, and capacity to learn.

Vision
Every child will start life with loving, responsive, and affirming relationships with parents and caregivers that provide a healthy foundation for life-long learning and connections with other people.
