Who is the Social Emotional Specialist?

The Social Emotional Specialist, Sarah Martinez, is a mental health professional with a background in providing therapy services to infants, young children and their families. 

Her role in the Child and Family Connections office is to support reflective, relationship based practice with both Service Coordinators and therapists in Early Intervention.  She does this by offering training on issues related to infant mental health, early social emotional development, supporting parent child relationships, and related topics and by providing a place for CFC staff and therapists to reflect on their work.  She is available to consult with therapists and service coordinators as needed.  She also facilitates our annual Parent to Parent events along with the Parent Liaisons.
