With the goal of building an early relational health workforce, we bring together a broad variety of practitioners who interface with parents and infants to learn about how to best support these tender new relationships. Participants include peer recovery coaches, pediatricians, maternity nurses, home visitors, lactation consultants, early intervention specialists, early childhood educators, mental health professionals, and a range of others. We integrate contemporary research and knowledge with frontline clinical experience.

Community Trauma Prevention Starts with Parent-Infant Relationships

The Hello it’s Me Project aims to engage communities around promoting strong, positive, and nurturing parent-infant relationships. It shines a spotlight on the tremendous capacity for connection babies have when they enter the world, each with their unique way of communicating, while highlighting the need to support mothers and fathers, enlisting their natural expertise during this major and often disorganizing transition to parenthood.

 We model protecting time and space to listen to parent and infant together to promote lifelong health and wellbeing.

We offer:

*Trainings in Community-Based Parent-Infant Relationship Support

*Opportunity for community of practice groups to discuss clinical applications of early relational health concepts

*Support in infant and early childhood mental health endorsement®
