Connecting Hearts and Minds!
Our 2024 annual conference, Our Way of Being: Connecting Hearts and Minds will be April 10th 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 2025 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:
Reflective Culture
Perinatal and Postpartum Mental Health

AIMHiTN looks forward to welcoming hundreds of professionals to the 2025 Our Way of Being Conference! We are excited about our two-city approach, knowing it will allow more equitable access for our infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH) friends across the state, allowing more of us to be together in person with less strain on travel budgets and appointment calendars. We also know that our equitable approach makes the conference a bigger lift for AIMHiTN this year, prompting us to reach out for support. We invite you to join the fun and excitement and to support the work of enhancing IECMH knowledge across Tennessee! With your partnership, we will provide engaging educational sessions to our IECMH professionals who hold Tennessee’s little ones and their families so well.
