📢 Registration is Now Open - The Science of Supporting Relationships: Integrating Evidence-Based Practices in IMH Home Visiting

How does the latest research strengthen the work you do with infants, young children, and families?

Join us for this **FREE virtual training** to explore how evidence from Michigan's Infant Mental Health Home Visiting (IMH-HV) model translates into practical strategies that support stronger relationships and better outcomes for families.

Whether you're interested in learning more about the Michigan Model of Infant Mental Health Home Visiting (IMH-HV), currently implementing the model, have completed IMH-HV training, or plan to attend training in the future, this session is for you. This training is also relevant for professionals across infant and early childhood systems, including mental health, home visiting, child welfare, early intervention, health care, child care, and court settings.

You'll learn about findings from Michigan's IMH-HV evaluations—including a recently completed 7-year follow-up clinical trial—and discover how research can be applied in everyday practice through case examples, clinical discussion, and real-world application.
