The TAIMH Endorsement is a competency-based system focusing on infants and children from birth to five-years-old and their families. The intent of the TAIMH Endorsement is to recognize the professional development of infant and family service providers within the diverse and rapidly expanding field. Endorsement by the Texas Association for Infant Mental Health will verify that an applicant has attained a specified level of functioning and understanding based on a set of competencies that have been identified and agreed upon by hundreds of professionals, service providers, faculty members and policy makers in the infant, young child and family field.

TAIMH purchased a license to use the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health system of endorsement. The license permits TAIMH to offer an endorsement at four levels (each level links to specific level requirements):
  • Level 1 -Infant Family Associate is intended to target individuals working in Child Care settings, Head Start and Early Head Start;
  • Level 2 - Infant Family Specialist is intended for ECI, CPS, Therapists, Nurses, Social Workers and other providers;
  • Level 3 - Infant Mental Health Specialist is intended for graduate level mental health providers;
  • Level 4 - Infant Mental Health Mentor is intended for program supervisors, policy makers, researchers, physicians and university faculty.
