A pediatrician and child and adolescent psychiatrist, Dr Mary Margaret Gleason's areas of specialty are infant and early childhood mental health and the integration of mental health services into non-mental health settings. She trained at Brown University in a triple board residency and completed an infant mental health fellowship at Tulane, where she has been on faculty since 2003. Currently, she is the clinical director of federally and locally funded consultation programs to pediatric, perinatal health care providers and early intervention professionals and is active in training medical students and residents in pediatrics, child psychiatry, and triple board. She is particularly interested in early identification and has validated an early childhood mental health screening tool, the Early Childhood Screening Assessment. She led the development of American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines for evidence-based mental health treatment for young children and has been active in the Academy since residency. She is also honored to sit on the boards of Zero to Three and the National Association of Child Psychiatry Access Programs.
Allison Boothe Trigg, PhD, is a clinical psychologist and associate professor at Tulane University School of Medicine in the Institute of Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health, where she co-developed the Tulane early childhood mental health consultation model (ECMHC), which focuses on supporting young children's social-emotional development in early education settings. She has directed the statewide TIKES ECMHC program for over 12 years. Dr Trigg has published peer-reviewed articles on ECMHC and has spoken to many national groups about the Louisiana ECMHC model, including Zero to Three, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the US Office of Family Assistance. Prior to joining the faculty at Tulane, Dr Trigg received a master's degree in Marriage and Family Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and a master's and doctoral degree in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology from The University of Alabama. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship in infant mental health at Tulane University, where she evaluated and treated children under 5 years of age in foster care, as well as their parents. The American Academy of Pediatrics is an organization of 67,000 primary care pediatricians, pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists dedicated to the health, safety and well-being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults. The AAP is the largest pediatric publisher in the world, with a diverse list of resources that includes essential clinical and practice management titles and award-winning books for parents.
