Feedback on the AIMS System of Practice

The AIMS materials …[have been].. extremely useful in identifying issues that might have lead to more ingrained problems for parents, and parent-infant interactions, had they not been identified and addressed at such an early stage.
…AIMS provides us with a tool with which to assess and track areas of critical importance [to infant mental health]- Attachment, parent-child Interaction, Mastery for both the child and caregiver, and Social Support, and to provide supportive interventions that improve outcomes for children and families.
…AIMS… makes such a unique and necessary contribution to the care and well-being of infants and young children.

[The AIMS System of Practice]… will enable us to prepare our residents by way of a specific curriculum of skills and information in the evaluation of the emotional health of infants and children within families and early intervention when indicated.

There is definitely a need for more knowledge and tools to assist primary care and child care providers in assessing and responding to the emotional health care needs of children 0-5 years and their families. We would welcome this [AIMS] training around emotional health and early intervention as we also see it as the key to emotional well-being and development in early childhood.
