The Association
aims to bring together professionals working to promote the mental
health of infants, such as psychiatrists, psychotherapists,
psychologists, social workers, nursery nurses, teachers, CPNs, health
visitors, midwives, GPs, paediatricians and others.
Close links
between clinicians and researchers are particularly useful, while high
profile professions could lend valuable support to those professionals
which are at present undervalued.
AIMH-UK plans to provide
information to support those campaigning for resources for infants and
their families and to promote infant mental health through publicity,
strategic discussions and conferences.
