Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) is a multidisciplinary field of inquiry, practice, and policy concerned with enhancing the social-emotional competence of infants and young children. Early Childhood Intervention (ECI) is a system of services that supports infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families. ECI providers promote a child's development in all domains, including social-emotional. The purpose of this paper is to describe how two systems, Early Childhood Intervention and Infant Early Childhood Mental Health, collaborate when serving children who have developmental delays or disabilities and their families and other caregivers. We will discuss two models used to promote social-emotional development, the Pyramid Model and IECMH Consultation, and provide three examples that demonstrate how ECI and IECMH intersect at both the family, classroom, and system levels.
婴幼儿心理健康（IECMH）是一个跨学科的研究、实践和政策领域，旨在增强婴幼儿的社会情感能力。早期儿童干预（ECI）是一个支持残疾婴幼儿及其家庭的服务系统。ECI 提供者促进儿童在所有领域的发展，包括社会情感。本文旨在描述当为有发育迟缓或残疾的儿童及其家庭和其他照顾者提供服务时，早期儿童干预和婴幼儿心理健康这两个系统是如何合作的。我们将讨论两种用于促进社会情感发展的模式，即金字塔模型和 IECMH 咨询，并提供三个示例，展示 ECI 和 IECMH 在家庭、课堂和系统层面是如何交叉的。
