Learning and Growing Together
MI-AIMH believes that each infant needs to be nurtured and protected by one or more caregivers, most often the parents, who enjoy a permanent and special relationship with the baby. This sustained, primary relationship provides the essential and necessary context within which every human infant learns basic emotional, cognitive and social attitudes that will influence the course of development.
The Infant Mental Health Professional
Individuals involved in infant mental health come from many different backgrounds including Education, Nursing, Early Childhood, Psychology, Social Work, Pediatrics and Psychiatry. Other disciplines which use infant mental health principles in their work include: Family Studies, Family Therapy, Human Development, Juvenile Law, Medicine, Nutrition, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy and Special Education, to name just a few.
