Together, We’re Giving Children Roots to Grow and Wings to Fly

NV-AIECMH is the only statewide professional association to support, train, and connect the cross-sector workforce that supports and promotes the healthy development of children from the prenatal period through age six. Our members are devoted to nurturing and empowering the future generation by creating a strong foundation for infants, very young children, and their adult caregivers to develop strong relationships that promote well-being and lifelong success. 

Support • Train • Connect

Infant Early Childhood Endorsement (IECMH-E®) is based upon internationally recognized competencies designed to support and enhance culturally humble, relationship-focused practice. Endorsed professionals report their competencies developed through education, work experience, specialized training, and reflective supervision experiences.
