Dr. Kristie Skoglund, the Florida Center for Early Childhood’s chief executive officer, has been appointed to the board of directors for the Florida Association for Infant Mental Health, or FAIMH.
FAIMH’s purpose is to expand the infant and early childhood mental health field into the Florida workforce through an endorsement available to professionals that work with young children. FAIMH accomplishes this though local chapters.
In the mental health world, infant and early childhood mental health professionals work with the child in the context of their relationships. Most of the time, the relationships include a parent or caregiver. The therapeutic framework helps the entire family heal from trauma while promoting healthy social and emotional development of the child.
