Childhaven

The Boards of Directors of Childhaven and Washington Association for Infant Mental Health voted unanimously to merge organizations. Through the merger, the organizations are joining forces to launch a center for workforce development in infant and early childhood mental health. The Washington Association for Infant Mental Health was founded in 2014 to educate, support, and advocate for service providers in Washington to improve the well-being of babies and young children, while advancing racial equity and belonging for marginalized communities. Under this merger, WA-AIMH becomes part of Childhaven with continued membership in the national Alliance for the Advancement of Infant Mental Health, serving as the state's central resource for endorsement and training. WA-AIMH's executive director, Kelli Bohanon, will lead development of the workforce development hub slated to launch Fall 2023. The hub will operate as an extension of the Childhaven brand to deliver evidence-informed, accessible, and affordable in-person and online resources, trainings, and tools for a wide range of providers and for anyone who wants more information on how to best support the mental and relational health of young children and their families.
