AIMHITN SEEKS TO CREATE
Strong Foundations. The research in child development shows that the foundation for sound mental health is built early in life. Just like building a house begins with a strong foundation, a strong foundation in children’s early years increases the probability of lifelong positive outcomes.
Healthy Relationships. Healthy child development is dependent on safe and stable relationships with sensitive and responsive adults. When children have healthy relationships, they are better able to express and manage their emotions, form relationships with peers and other adults, and explore their environment and learn.
Bright Futures. Early investments reap dividends as child development translates into economic development later on. A child with a solid foundation becomes part of a solid community and contributes to our society.
Our 2022 Story
Each year in January, the staff at AIMHiTN spend some time reflecting on the previous year. 2022 was quite a journey and we want to share with you some highlights from what was an amazing year of growth both in numbers and in depth of work. As proud as we are of our achievements, we also know that none of this would be possible without you, our supportive and endlessly enthusiastic community of friends. We thank you and we are excited to see what 2023 brings!
The Looking Back on 2022 document above gives you a quick summary/snapshot of our year. Now we wanted you to see the heart of the work. Please take a few minutes to go on a reflective journey of the last year with us. It’s impossible to share all that has happened in one document, but we feel this gives a good overall view of all that encompassed 365 days of passion for the work of Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health.
