Who
We Are
The Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health (MI-AIMH) is an
organization of individuals who are devoted to nurturing and strengthening
relationships between infants and their caregivers…
Mission
Statement
MI-AIMH believes that each infant needs to be nurtured and protected by
one or more consistent and stimulating caregivers who enjoy a permanent
and special relationship with the infant. This relationship is not just
a luxury over and above the basic physical necessities of life, but is
the essential and necessary context within which every human infant learns
basic emotional, cognitive and social attitudes that will influence development…
