Abstract: Mental health clinicians who work with families with infants and toddlers often face complex challenges that require collaboration among many professionals and disciplines. A team approach to addressing infant mental health is critical to successful intervention. In the story that follows, a fractured family dealing with interpersonal violence and maternal mental illness seeks help to enhance the life of their developing child. The case reveals how the multiple providers worked together to move treatment forward, manage setbacks, and ultimately help a family overcome the barriers to treatment and provide for the well-being of their child.
