Endorsement
All infants and their caregivers deserve supports and services that encourage nurturing relationships. Professionals from a variety of disciplines can use a range of infant mental health strategies to foster healthy development. By joining the New Mexico Association of Infant Mental Health, you help us move our state closer to creating a cohesive system of infant mental health in New Mexico. Endorsement provides recognition of specialized knowledge and expertise in professionals working with or on behalf of pregnant people, infants, birth through three, and their families.
