Infant-Preschooler Mental Health

Alliant is offering two Certificates in Infant-Preschooler Mental Health. The first five years of life are critical but too often the mental health needs of these at-risk children go unmet. These classes prepare clinicians to work effectively with very young children and their families. Most classes can be taken independently for CE or as part of the Certificates.

How to Enroll: Contact Debbie Wendt CSPP/Alliant, 5130 E. Clinton Way, Fresno, CA 93727, email: dwendt@alliant.edu, phone: 559-253-2234.
