Reflective Spaces: Virtual Supportive Groups for
Michigan Home Visitors

In this uncertain time, we are all adapting to new ways of supporting very young children and families while also adapting to changes in our own lives. Holding the profound worries of vulnerable families alongside your own can feel stressful, and, at times overwhelming. In order to provide support, the State of Michigan will be partnering with MI-AIMH to offer free virtual groups for home visitors in Michigan. These one-hour group sessions, each limited to 8 attendees, will allow home visiting professionals to connect with a facilitator and a small group of other professionals to share their experiences, stresses and growth in the current climate of home visiting.

These FREE Virtual groups are only available to Michigan Home Visitors at this time. NOTE – you do not need to be a MI-AIMH member to register. Groups will be starting the week of Nov. 2nd, 2020 and will run 2x a month through April 2021 based on the schedule of the group you select. If the group you select has a schedule that has holiday conflicts, your facilitator will discuss schedule adjustments within your group. Registration will close on Oct. 29th (close of business).

Home Visitors are limited to select only one group. Please note that these sessions are not reflective supervision or crisis intervention and cannot be counted on your endorsement application/renewal.

You CAN select a group that works for you regardless of facilitator location and/or model familiarity. These groups are open and free to all home visiting staff in Michigan who work for any of the following models below. Be sure to select Early On as one of your programs (during registration) if you provide ANY service to Early On in addition to other programs.

Community Mental Health: Infant Mental Health

Registration is based on a first come first serve basis and each cohort is limited to 8 attendees. Please be careful when entering your email address, double check that it is accurate.
