Internship Program

Harris Center for Infant Mental Health

Dr. Joy Osofsky consulting to one of the Russian orphanages

A major objective of the Harris Center for Infant Mental Health in New Orleans, and of infant mental health training in general, is to raise awareness that even very young infants can have mental health problems and that early identification, intervention, and prevention can have a significant positive impact on their lives and those of their families. The goals of our program are: 1) to develop a critical number of people locally and regionally who are trained to evaluate and treat infants; 2) to develop networks -local, regional, national, and international - to provide support for individuals working with infants; 3) to bring together individuals from different mental health disciplines who will have a core set of skills and knowledge to assess and treat infants; and 4) to develop particular expertise in evaluation and treatment for infants and families at high psychosocial risk. Training activities include didactic seminars, clinical case seminars, and intensive clinical supervision by senior infant mental health professionals. All trainees also participate in consultation, evaluation, and treatment experiences with infants and families in juvenile court, child care centers, and pediatric clinics. Networking efforts link many other systems including the judicial system, child welfare, law enforcement, schools, community centers, day care and early intervention programs where training and consultation is provided.
