Plan to attend the Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Annual Meeting

Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) is crucially important, both for the direct well being of babies and for their future mental health and well being. IECMH is synonymous with healthy social-emotional development (as supported within the baby's primary relationships and larger systems). At the Utah Association for Infant Mental Health (UAIMH), we advocate for and educate about IECMH within the state of Utah. Interest in this field is growing rapidly, with the increased awareness of the importance of early (brain) development and the long-reaching effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences and developmental trauma. 

Please join us for our Annual General Meeting! All are welcome! Please invite friends and colleagues who might be interested, so we can join forces to improve IECMH in Utah. Our Winter 2016 newsletter is attached, and you can find more newsletters and information at www.uaimh.org.
The meeting will be:
  • Friday, September 95:30-7:00pm (there will be food & drinks!)
  • Location: Children's Service Society, 655 East 4500 South #200, Salt Lake City, UT  84107

Please RSVP to uaimh.org@gmail.com (by September 8), so we can plan for enough food!
