Dear members of the MassAIMH community,

It is with such a heavy heart that I post the news of our loss of our dear Berry Brazelton, who so encouraged and contributed to our mission and goals here at MassAIMH. We are grateful for the fact that his was a peaceful death at home. Since his passing on Tuesday, March 13th, there has been an outpouring of expressions of grief and gratitude from the infant and early childhood mental health and related fields across the world.
