What is MassAIMH Endorsement for Culturally Sensitive, Relationship-Focused Practice Promoting Infant Mental Health®?
MassAIMH Endorsement® is an international credential that provides recognition of specialized knowledge and expertise for professionals working with or on behalf of families with young children.
Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (MSPCC) and MassAIMH are proud to announce the adoption of the Michigan Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Endorsement® System. Endorsement® serves as one of the first and most comprehensive efforts in the country to define best practice and guide professional growth at multiple levels and across disciplines in the field of infant and early childhood mental health. MassAIMH Endorsement® promotes culturally sensitive, relationship-focused practice and is supported nationally by the Alliance for the Advancement of Infant Mental Health.
