Education and learning
Infant Mental Health Promotion offers a variety of specialized learning and education opportunities to support multidisciplinary service providers working with infants and caregivers as a means of enhancing quality care. A broad selection of topics relevant to infant mental health are explored including infant maltreatment, pregnancy and addiction, maternal depression, attachment and attachment disorders, temperament and therapeutic interventions for very young children and families.
IMP workshops and conferences are valuable learning and networking opportunities for professionals who work with infants and families. Front line service providers, supervisors, educators, researchers, administrators, advocates, policy makers and anyone concerned with the care of very young children and their families can benefit from IMP learning experiences.
In addition to focused full day workshops and conferences, our monthly Infant Mental Health Rounds, hosted in collaboration with The Hospital for Sick Children Infant Psychiatry Program, offer a unique opportunity to share knowledge and learn about programs and services offered in the community as well as new research in the field. The Infant Mental Health Rounds are free and open to anyone interested in attending.
The Certificate in Infant Mental Health programs, offered by York University Atkinson Faculty of Liberal and Professional Studies, Division of Continuing Education, in collaboration with IMP provide a focused education opportunity for those who wish to acquire essential knowledge and practical skills to work effectively with infants and their families.
