Endorsements

A key component of GA-AIMH will be the Endorsement for Culturally Sensitive, Relationship-Focused Practice Promoting Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health, which was originally created by the Alliance for the Advancement of Infant Mental Health. Endorsement provides recognition of specialized knowledge and expertise among professionals working with or on behalf of pregnant women, young children and their families. Endorsement is not a license but an overlay that complements one’s professional license and/or other credentials. Thirty-two other states, including Alabama, South Carolina, Tennessee and Florida, already offer the Endorsement.
