MI-AIMH Organizational Membership

Honoring the Organizations Strengthening Michigan’s Early Childhood & Family-Serving Workforce

Across Michigan, organizations are stepping forward to strengthen the relationships that support babies, young children, families, and the professionals who serve them. MI-AIMH Organizational Membership recognizes agencies who understand that reflective, relationship-based, equity-centered practice is essential to healthy communities—and who invest in their workforce as a core system strategy.

Organizational Members help build a shared language, strengthen reflective supervision, and ensure that families experience consistent, infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH)–informed care across programs and sectors.

Our 2026 Founding Organizational Members

These partners model what system leadership looks like—investing in their teams, building capacity across sectors, and championing the mental health and emotional well-being of infants, toddlers, young children, and their families. Their commitment is shaping a stronger, more connected workforce for Michigan.

MI-AIMH is proud to recognize the first organizations to join this statewide movement in 2026:
