As the infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH)-informed workforce adapted to the unexpected and challenging events brought on by COVID-19, associations for infant mental health (AIMHs), whose primary role is to support the workforce, stepped up and offered what very few organizations could during the onset of the pandemic: opportunities for consistent, predictable, and reflective conversations with colleagues. As 2020 progressed and the epidemic of systemic racism in the United States was further revealed, AIMHs again stepped up and offered the workforce the ongoing support needed to authentically show up for Black and Brown babies and families with cultural humility and sensitivity.
