On March 3, 2017 PA-AIMH and Community Services for Children, Inc. hosted Gerry Costa, Ph.D. for a PA-AIMH Northeast Regional Mini-Conference. Over 70 people were in attendance and focused on infant mental health! The days sessions were titled "Reconceptualizing "Training" as "Professional Formation in the Field of Infant Mental Health" and "The Critical Importance of Self-Regulation and the Unrecognized Impact of Stress". Dr. Costa's knowledge and expertise helped participants reflect upon our professional roles, our formation as professionals, and out impact on those around us in the course of our personal and professional lives.
