  • AIMHiTN Endorsement Training Catalogue

    The Infant Mental Health Endorsement® (IMH-E®) and the Early Childhood Mental Health Endorsement® (ECMH-E®) are based on a set of competencies designed to support and enhance culturally sensitive, relationship-focused practice within the framework of infant and early childhood mental health. An Endorsement applicant demonstrates acquisition of these competencies through education, work, specialized training, and reflective supervision experiences. Working with our youngest citizens requires specialized training and experience, and endorsement ensures professionals have attained a certain level of expertise with very young children and their families. IMH-E® ensures professionals have attained a certain level of expertise with 0–3-year-olds and their families. ECMH-E® assures that professionals have attained a certain level of expertise with 3-6 year olds and their families.
