TESTING – 2022 Conference Workshops Proposal TESTING

Workshop Proposal Submissions

The 2022 Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health (MI-AIMH) Biennial Virtual Conference will take a closer look at the role of connection in the context of advancing our relationship-based work. We invite you to join us in this reflective experience, as we deepen our understanding of the healing power of connection; connection to ourselves, each other, systems and the infants, young children and families we support. Workshops may be clinical, applied or empirical and may address any of the following topics: promoting early development and learning, prevention, assessment, intervention, early trauma, addressing challenging behaviors, at-risk families, special needs, diversity, cross-cultural practice, research, or policy development. Within these general topic areas, proposals should consider integrative and multidisciplinary approaches to addressing the well-being of infants, young children and families. Accepted workshops will be 90 minutes in length.

The Workshop Committee is dedicated to ensuring that the conference is diverse, equitable and inclusive in selecting presentations. Committee members will work toward including of a wide array of quality workshops and content for our audience and the varied disciplines, experience and profession in the infant and early childhood field.

Support Calls

New to writing a workshop proposal?

Feel like some extra support would be helpful?

RSVP to our workshop proposal support calls! Ann Stacks will be facilitating three conference calls to support individuals and/or groups seeking to submit a workshop proposal for the 2022 conference. These calls will focus on providing support around the writing process, helping identify possible resources/citations, etc. The zoom calls will give you the chance to hear from other prospective workshops and work through questions with one of MI-AIMH’s most skilled and knowledgeable instructors. Please note that there is limited space in each call. If you can’t make it to one of the calls, be sure to check out the comprehensive tip sheet below under Documents (which includes helpful video feeds and a sample workshop proposal). You will also find the link for submitting your workshop proposal with our new online submission form.
