Join Us in Advancing Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health!
The Alliance is excited to extend an invitation for cooperative memberships to organizations whose missions and objectives align with ours. The Alliance stands out with its primary focus on competency-based workforce development strategies designed for professionals working with infants, young children, and their families. Our members include programs and organizations from across the nation and around the world that prioritize the mental health of infants, toddlers, and young children within their mission statements, visions, and initiatives. These members are committed to preparing a competency-based workforce dedicated to the well-being of young children.
All our members, regardless of type, contribute to our shared mission of keeping infant and early childhood mental health at the forefront of discussions in policy and practice. Together, we can nurture early relationships and improve the lives of young children worldwide.
As we launch the first revision to the Competency Guidelines (MI-AIMH Copyright © 2024) since their creation, we are eager to invite organizations to elevate competency-based workforce development as a key priority.
