Did you know CMHA-CEI has an Infant Mental Health Program?

If you are in the last trimester of your pregnancy or have a young child aged birth to 36 months in your home, you may need some extra support! This is an exciting time and can also be stressful.

Many caregivers experience insecurities, depression, anxiety or other concerns. At CMHA-CEI we offer Infant Mental Health services in your home or in the office through the Parent-Infant Program (PIP). Infant Mental Health is a service provided by mental health therapists with specialized training in supporting the social, emotional and developmental needs of you and your child through relationship-focused treatment. We know that infants and toddlers grow and learn best with healthy, nurturing relationships with their caregivers.

Our PIP therapists can provide counseling, case management, developmental guidance and parenting strategies in order to support a secure attachment between you and your child and ensure that these early years with your child are the start of a bright future!

Pregnant individuals in their last trimester and caregivers with a child aged birth to 3 years of age are eligible for the Parent-Infant Program.

Call CMHA-CEI Access at (517) 346-8318 and ask for the PIP program. You will come to our offices for an intake.

If you have more questions, feel free to call (517) 887-5250.
