Wisconsin Alliance for Infant Mental Health

Wisconsin Alliance for Infant Mental Health Infant mental health (IMH) is synonymous with social and emotional development in our youngest children.

We aim for all Wisconsin infants and young children to reach their fullest potential through nurturing and consistent relationships within the context of family, community, and culture Social and emotional development involves skills such as self confidence, curiosity, motivation, persistence, self control, and trust--all of which affect future learning, growth, and success. The development of all of these traits begins in infancy and within the context of relationships. Emotional and social milestones include a child's ability to experience, regulate and express emotions, and form close and secure interpersonal relationships. A child's capacities to identify their own feelings, experience empathy for another and constructively manage strong emotions are skills that begin in early childhood and support later learning.

Season's Greetings! Take a look at the beautiful photo (and words) from Lana, WI-AIMH's ED, of her menorah at the Middleton Office, taken on the 2nd night of the holiday (with a little embellishment added).

"May light and love prevail over darkness, hate and fear. Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate!"

Whether there's a holiday you celebrate this season or not, we wish that you find and lean into what grounds you, brings you joy and reassurance, and fills you with love and happiness.
