Infant Mental Health Network Groups

Infant Mental Health Network Groups

As well as supporting training in infant mental health, I-AIMH has also placed a strategic focus on supporting the translation and implementation of infant mental health skills into frontline practice by advocating for the continuous development of Infant Mental Health Network Groups (IMH-NG).  This Learning Network model was developed to facilitate the consolidation of skills and competencies after Ireland’s first North Cork IMH Master Class training in 2006. Since then, IMH-NG have gathered momentum and continue as a mechanism to develop and enhance workforce capacity regarding early years development.  IMH-NG also function as a coaching, mentoring and reflective practice framework for the translation of science to practice and have to date, provided a process for the implementation of competencies to frontline practice.

IMH-NG are currently meeting in:

Cork

Dublin

Kildare

Limerick

Kilkenny/ Carlow 

Tipperary

  • Clonmel

Wicklow

New networks are constantly popping up all over the country so keep an eye on this page for updates.
