IMH Statewide Training

An In-depth Exploration of Early Development
Part One: Prenatal Development and It’s Impact on Later Well-Being

Presenter:

Ann Stacks, PhD, IMH-E® is the Director of the IMH Program at the Merrill Palmer Skillman Institute. Early in her career, Dr. Stacks conducted developmental assessments for Early On, which allowed opportunities to connect with parents by delighting with them as their child demonstrated their developmental competencies. For many years at WSU, Dr. Stacks taught the undergraduate infant development course and the graduate course on infant and toddler developmental assessment. She also conducted developmental assessments for the Wayne County Baby Court evaluation and trained a research team to assess infant development as part of a longitudinal study linking fetal brain development with development across early childhood.  Dr. Stacks’ program of research focuses on parental and non-parental caregiver capacities that underlie sensitive caregiving interactions known to support social emotional development in children birth through age three, especially in the context of family risk, including poverty, maltreatment and caregiver mental health diagnoses. Her primary interest is on caregiver (parent, foster parent, and early childhood teacher reflective functioning and how interventions can support this capacity. She is a member of the Michigan Collaborative for Infant Mental Health Research and helped with the assessment of parental reflective functioning in the IMH-HV evaluation. Most recently, she and her colleagues at Michigan State University and University of Michigan were awarded $2.4 million  to develop and test an adaptation of Mom Power for Early Head Start teachers and parents, called Hearts and Minds on Babies. Dr. Stacks work is informed by a community team science approach. She has been working closely with community partners in child welfare, infant mental health and the judicial system for the past 10 years to implement, evaluate and scale up an infant toddler court team.
