The Missouri Association for Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health (MOAIMH-EC) is seeking your partnership in hosting infant and early childhood mental health professionals from across the state of Missouri for our annual fall conference: Held in Mind: Celebrating Babies Through Reflective Practice

This conference offers an opportunity for Missouri’s infant and early childhood mental health workforce to gather and learn more about how our way of being impacts our work with infants, young children, and their families. MOAIMH-EC looks forward to welcoming professionals to St. Louis in October, 2025. We invite you to join the excitement as we celebrate the littlest ones in Missouri!

The future of Missouri’s health and economy depends on the investments we make in infants and young children today. Early relational health—grounded in science and focused on nurturing relationships—lays the foundation for lifelong well-being. These essential relationships extend beyond families to include educators, healthcare providers, and community members. That includes you. By supporting this conference, you help strengthen the infant and early childhood mental health (IECMH) workforce, a vital network of professionals working every day to give children the best start possible.

The IECMH workforce is a broad community made up of physicians, community mental health providers, early intervention staff, early care providers, early educators, home visitors, systems and family advocates, child welfare workers, nurses, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, higher education faculty and staff, policy and state agency leaders, and many others.
