Title: The Intersection of CMH IMH Home Visiting and Parenting Young Children:
A professional space to explore experiences of providing IMH Home Visiting in the public mental health system, while also parenting infants and very young children.
Description:
The MI-AIMH Statewide Committee was thrilled to offer two half day training sessions with Julie Ribaudo in spring 2023. During those training sessions, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), heard about how challenging it has been for IMH Home Visitors who work in the public mental health system, who are also parents of little ones. As a result, MDHHS is supporting this endeavor for IMH Home Visiting providers in the public mental health system with a child under 4 years old, to attend supportive collaborative groups.
MI-AIMH and MDHHS recognizes this is long overdue – IMH Home Visiting is challenging and can be evocative when you have you are raising your own very young children We know many get by through support of coworkers, Reflective Supervision etc. but these new groups aim to offer an additional support to those who have had to parent very young children, or give birth during, the COVID-19 Pandemic and all the extra challenges of that experience.
