Infant Mental Health (IMH) is a multifaceted field encompassing research and practice. IMH professionals cater to children and their families from birth to five years old, aiming to foster healthy social-emotional growth in all children and their families. IMH efforts also focus on preventing social-emotional and health issues in at-risk children and families. When social-emotional development encounters challenges, IMH providers step in to guide it back on track. PA-AIMH upholds traditional IMH philosophies aligned with Selma Fraiberg's work, among other methodologies that enhance the mental health of infants and families by improving infant-caregiver relationships. |
