The Alliance for the Advancement of Infant Mental Health is a global organization that partners with associations of infant mental health so that associations can support, grow, diversify, and advocate for their local infant & early childhood mental health-informed workforce.
35 state associations and 2 international associations are members of the Alliance.
Excerpts from the Values included in the Alliance’s strategic plan:
Equity and Social Justice - We recognize that white supremacy culture has influenced our organization, our work, and our field. We seek feedback on how it shows up and how we work to eliminate it. We are committed to the consistent use of equity principles to share power, shape and improve all that we do.
Diversity -- We recognize that diverse leadership enhances our skill, innovation, and excellence and is necessary for us to be dynamic, competitive, and sustainable in our efforts to strengthen the workforce. We are committed to building and supporting a diverse staff and board that is racially, culturally, ethnically, and economically representative of the workforce, and the families they serve. We honor and value the diverse backgrounds of all babies and families.
