Early Childhood Elementary through High School Speaking Topics Information Request	Through our early childhood mental health programs, staff members consult with and guide both parents and educators on child development issues. This work has several facets: individual parent-child therapy sessions; consultations in schools; trauma therapy; consultations at women's shelters; and play groups. Through individual parent-child therapy sessions, JFCS/East Bay staff helps parents understand their child's temperament, behaviors, and development, all with the goal of facilitating closer relationships. These consultations can be home-based, making the service more accessible for low-income families in need. At school sites, our staff advises administrators on program development; provides teacher and parent training on child behaviors and interventions; and assists teachers and parents with child-specific issues. We serve Jewish preschools, Oakland Head Start facilities, the Berkeley/Albany Head Start preschool, an Even Start literacy program, and several Oakland Unified School District preschools for low-income students. Through our Family Justice Center office, JFCS/East Bay provides counseling and case management services for families that have been exposed to domestic violence, with a focus on young children who have experienced trauma and violence. JFCS/East Bay recently received a grant that has enabled us to provide mental health consultations for children at two local women's emergency shelters. This new service is an amazing opportunity to assist an underserved population. At our Family Justice Center office, JFCS/East Bay offers mommy and me groups for Latina mothers. These developmental and play groups are moderated by staff members and provide the mothers with support and information.
