Our Conference will address this critically important public health issue by offering training to a diverse group of individuals in Colorado who touch the lives of young children, including, among others, professionals, paraprofessionals, first responders, parents and other family members and caregivers alike. Topics will include:

• appreciating the foundational importance of mental health to children's overall development and well-being,
• recognizing mental health challenges experienced by young children who are typically developiing or have developmental disabilities,
• learning effective ways to respond to tantrums, meltdowns, or other challenging or aggressive behaviors,
• understanding when a referral to a mental health professional may be warranted, and (5) knowing how to connect with referral resources in the state.
