CT-Association for Infant Mental Health: One of 18 States

Now there are 18 states and 1 county in Florida using the Competencies and Endorsement for Culturally Sensitive, Relationship Focused Practice Promoting Infant Mental Health�. In addition Western Australia is also using these systems.
The entities holding the Competencies and Endorsement� are working to form the Alliance for Infant Mental Health.  Committees are in place to develop marketing strategies, by-laws, and funding.  Connecticut is a member of the Founding Planning Committee for the Alliance.  Click here to see the states involved.

A plan of the Alliance is to expand the Endorsement to those working with three and four year olds.  Watch for news in that area.

The Alliance is also having conversations with Zero To Three to determine how the two organizations can complement and expand each others' efforts to build a competent workforce in infant mental health.
