Our National Roadmap
Shaped by AIMHs.
Grounded in Relationships.
Building Toward What Comes Next.
Across the country, Associations for Infant Mental Health bring different strengths, experiences, and perspectives to their work. Our National Roadmap grew from conversations about those strengths, the challenges AIMHs are navigating, and what we could make possible through stronger national relationships.
The Roadmap offers a shared direction for AIMHI-USA and the growing network, with room for new ideas, partnerships, and opportunities to take shape along the way.
How We Got Here
Through two interactive sessions, AIMH leaders and colleagues reflected on what is working, where support is needed, and what could be strengthened through shared effort.
Seven connected topics guided the conversations: Synergy, Strengths, Systems, Supports, Strategy, Steps, and Suppose.
What emerged was not a single model for every AIMH,
but a shared commitment to build on the knowledge, relationships, and opportunities
already present throughout the field.
From Roadmap to Action
The Roadmap is just the beginning.
Some opportunities for connection, shared learning, and leadership support
are already underway. Others will continue to develop through conversations
with AIMHs, national partners, and colleagues across the field.
As AIMHI-USA grows, we'll keep listening, learning, and looking for
practical ways to strengthen AIMHs and the relationships that support their work.
Help Shape What Comes Next
The Roadmap belongs in an ongoing conversation.
Whether you're part of an established AIMH, helping one grow, or bringing
expertise and resources from elsewhere in the IECMH field,
there's room for your perspective.
Let's keep building together.
