An Opportunity to Meet Again!
On March 29th, 2021
The next in the series of community groups, Conversations from the Field, is scheduled for Monday, March 29th, 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm. Board member Steven Loreus will facilitate a conversation with practitioners working with young children and families about keeping relations - between the parents and the child and between practitioners and the family - central in all the work we do. Our committee values engagement, so participation is limited to 10 members. Please check the CalAIMH website early for sign-up information.

Members working with young children and their families in California are welcome to join the Clinical Interventions Committee. Please email Elvia Cortes at hello@calaimh.org

Meet a CalAIMH Member
Wendy Lee, PsyD
Hi CalAIMH Members, my name is Wendy Lee, and I am a founding member and current Board Treasurer of CalAIMH. I graduated in 2001 from the University of Hartford in Connecticut with a clinical Psy.D, specialized in children's development (from prenatal, infancy to adolescence) and the importance of family relationships. Currently, I work at First 5, San Bernardino.
|
As an Infant, Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant, or "Baby-Whisper," per my husband and two teenage boys, the most joyful and magical experiences working with very young kiddos are witnessing their neurons firing, the twinkles in their eyes, and healthy connections made with their caregivers. I am cognizant of the privilege in my work that can lead to a lasting impact on human interactions and the healing potential.
|
|
Thank you, CalAIMH, for highlighting me and sharing the joy of what we all do!
