Pediatric Psychiatry Resource Network (PediPRN)

PediPRN is facilitated by Bradley Hospital under a grant from Rhode Island’s Executive Office of Health and Human Services, Rhode Island Foundation, and the van Beuren Charitable Foundation.

This telephonic consultation program encourages pediatric primary care providers (PPCPs) to consult with mental health specialists, thus improving access to and delivery of high-quality pediatric mental health services. The free service is offered to all PPCPs in Rhode Island, though enrollment in advance is encouraged.

Resources for Parents

Foundations of Infant/Toddler Social Emotional Health and Development - Designed for Parents and Families

Infant and toddler social emotional health and development is a foundation of all development, involving a baby’s ability to express and regulate emotions, form positive relationships with others, and eagerly explore and learn. During the first three years of life, a baby’s brain develops more rapidly than at any other time. This development is shaped by the baby’s experiences with parents (and other primary family members)—your baby’s early experiences with you matter, and they last a lifetime.

Bradley’s Foundations course includes 10 computer-based modules that offer insights about a baby’s social emotional health and development, and it highlights the importance of positive early relationship experiences for healthy development.
