IECMH Consultant

SCIMHA's PEAR program is a prevention-based initiative that pairs highly specialized Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultants (MHCs) with the adults who care for children ages 0–5. The program partners with early childhood education (ECE) programs across South Carolina to promote young children's social-emotional well-being, strengthen educator and caregiver capacity, and foster healthy early learning environments.

MHCs work with young children, their families, and the professionals who support them—including childcare providers, teachers, assistant teachers, directors, technical assistance providers, and other caregivers. Drawing on expertise in infant and early childhood development, family systems, trauma-informed care, and relationship-based practice, consultants support children's emotional development, addresses behaviors that adults find challenging, and build the knowledge and confidence of caregivers to nurture secure relationships, emotional regulation, and healthy exploration.
