Connecting the Dots!
Our 2024 annual conference, Our Way of Being: Connecting the Dots will be April 11th in a hybrid format. This conference will offer an opportunity for professionals across the Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) workforce in Tennessee to gather and learn more about how our way of being impacts our work with infants, young children, and their families. Whether you are a parent, caregiver, or other professional in the field, one thing is for sure: a child's first and early relationships are important. We will kick off the conference with welcome receptions in both locations. Stay tuned for more details on this time to celebrate our members! We will also allow time for networking and for participants to visit and build relationships. AIMHiTN looks forward to welcoming hundreds of professionals to the 2024 AIMHiTN Conference. We invite you to join the excitement and support the work of building infant and early childhood mental health knowledge. Together, we will nurture healthy communities and a productive workforce for generations to come.
With Session Topics Covering:
Strategies for Navigating Difficult Conversations with Caregivers
Addressing Challenging Behaviors in Infants and Early Childhood
Perinatal Mental Health and Early Parenting
Reflection on Working with Children and Families Post-Covid
Light breakfast, lunch, and snacks will be provided. Please stay tuned for more updates including speaker information, hotel reservation suggestions, and more information regarding our welcome receptions in each location!
