Annual Endorsement Renewal
Endorsement® renewals are due by January 31 of each year. There are NO annual fees for Endorsement® renewal. In order to renew your PA-AIMH Endorsement®, the following is required:
- On-going membership with PA-AIMH or with another infant mental health association. This is the only associated fee for renewal. PA-AIMH’s annual membership is based on the calendar year, from January to December. PA-AIMH membership renewals are due at the time of Endorsement® renewals, by January 31 of each year*.
- 15 clock hours/year of training related to culturally sensitive, relationship-focused practice promoting infant and/or early childhood mental health.
- All categories of Endorsement are required to attend a minimum of 3 hours of DEI training as part of the minimum 15 annual renewal training hours.
- For Family Specialist, MH Specialist, or Clinical Mentors providing RS/C to others, then 3 hours of the minimum 15 annual renewal training hours need to be Training on the provision of RS/C to others.
- 12 clock hours/year of reflective supervision/consultation (RS/C) is required for IMH/ECMH Family Specialist, Mental Health Specialist, and Mental Health Mentor-Clinical. If you have been endorsed as a Mental Health Mentor-Clinical for 3+ years, then you will only need 10 clock hours of RS/C for renewal; peer supervision or collaborative consultation may be used at this point.
