Center on Infant Mental Health
& Development |

The mission of the Center on Infant Mental
Health and Development (CIMHD) is to improve the social and emotional
aspects of development for young children during their formative
years. Special emphasis is placed on vulnerable children at risk
due to maternal mental health problems, extreme poverty and homelessness,
absence of social supports, parental substance abuse, and related
factors. Children already exhibiting developmental delays as a consequence
of these factors are also of central interest to the center.
CIMHD conducts research projects, provides
direct services to children and families, disseminates information,
and offers interdisciplinary training opportunities to health professionals,
family members, and the community.
