SERVICES
Collaborative Learning Seminars can be provided at your site, at a site you arrange in your community, or via distance technology. As appropriate, seminar content is aligned with the infant mental health endorsement competencies established by the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health (MI-AIMH) and supported by the Alliance for the Advancement of Infant Mental Health. Training content and learning facilitation processes are developed based on learner needs and professional development goals.
Sample topics include: early development, relationship-based family-centered practice, supporting nurturing parent-child interactions, supporting reflective capacity/mentalization, reflective practice in early childhood settings, and understanding the impact of trauma on early development.
Reflective Supervision is available on a fee-for-service basis for individuals and groups. This service can be provided face-to-face at your site or via distance technology.
Consultation is available regarding professional development needs for individuals, programs and service systems.
PLEASE NOTE:
The Parent-Infant Study Center provides professional development services to learners from many different fields of practice. Each seminar and learning module is designed with specific Infant Mental Health competencies in mind. Certificates of Completion listing these Infant Mental Health Competencies are provided for each seminar and learning module. Professional discipline-specific CEUs are only provided when collaboarting agencies are able to offer the CEUs.
