About AiMH UK

Founded in 1996 as a not-for-profit organisation, AiMH UK was the first organisation in the UK to bring together the many different professionals working with infants and their families.

AiMH UK has supported thousands of professionals to develop both their practice and understanding about infant mental health.

AiMH UK has celebrated 25 years

  • Raising recognition of the importance of Infant Mental Health for future development
  • Successfully lobbying for Infant Mental Health to become part of government policy and planning
  • Bringing together diverse professionals whose work promotes the well-being of infants and toddlers

Recent developments include:

  • Contributing to raising standards of Infant Mental Health Practice with the launch, at the Houses of Parliament, of the Infant Mental Health Competency Framework
  • Hosting a wide range of accessible online CPD training events delivered by experts in the field of infant mental health and designed to update professional practice.
