HealthySteps Specialist Professional Development Resources
Being a HealthySteps (HS) Specialist requires expertise across a wide range of topics. The National Office does not expect HS Specialists to possess a complete breadth and depth of all knowledge and skills, and we appreciate that it can feel daunting when trying to identify focus areas and reliable, effective sources for professional development. These tools are designed to provide support and direction for each individual’s unique growth journey.
HS Specialist Competencies
This resource will help you define key knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for responsive, culturally attuned, clinical best practices specific to your role.
Reflection Tool for Professional Growth and Development
The Reflection Tool for Professional Growth and Development supports the application of the HS Specialist Competencies by providing a framework for discussion of commonly occurring clinical vignettes.
Professional Development Resource Library
The HS Professional Development (PD) Resource Library includes links to a range of articles, websites, eLearning courses, and other training materials spanning topics related to infant mental health and early childhood development.
