This workshop introduces Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Endorsements (IMH-E® and ECMH-E®), a credential that recognizes the expertise of the many professionals working with children ages 0-6 and their families. Endorsement® applies to a multidisciplinary field, including therapists, social workers, case workers, early intervention specialists, home visitors, public health nurses, occupational and physical therapists, teachers, and other early childhood professionals. The Endorsement® system organizes a set of standardized competencies that professionals must meet to become Endorsed, ensuring that families receive high-quality, specialized services and that providers are recognized for their advanced expertise.
