Strengthening the IECMH Workforce: New Competencies, Shared Supports

VirtualRegister
This session explores how new national tools and frameworks are aligning to strengthen the IECMH workforce by building shared competencies, supporting reflective practice, and fostering resilience.

In today’s landscape of growing mental health needs, it’s more important than ever to support the professionals caring for our youngest children.

In a time when mental health challenges are touching families and professionals alike, supporting the Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (IECMH) workforce has never been more critical. Join the Alliance for the Advancement of Infant Mental Health, the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health, and Noelle Hause from ZERO TO THREE, for an engaging conversation on how national tools and frameworks are aligning to meet this urgent need.

This session will introduce the Alliance’s new IECMH competencies and explore how they align with ZERO TO THREE’s IECMH Guiding Principles and trainings. Together, these resources offer a shared foundation to strengthen professional capacity, promote reflective practice, and build resilience in those who care for our youngest children and their families.

Whether you’re a provider, trainer, or leader, this conversation will offer inspiration and direction to help you champion the people at the heart of IECMH.
