From MHAI President and CEO:
“I cannot count the number of well intended people who have expressed a genuine lack of understanding, confusion and even disbelief, when the conversation moves to infant and toddler mental health. It is abundantly clear that Indiana requires a program focused on public and provider education for behavioral health prevention and intervention soon after, and even starting before birth. MHAI is proud to include Infancy Onward as a critical part of our continuum that promotes behavioral health interventions when they are needed most — the beginning! “
