The Minnesota Association for Children’s Mental Health is excited to announce its annual 8th Annual Infant & Early Childhood Multidisciplinary Conference hosted in St. Paul, November 16th- 18th, 2025.

MACMH welcomes early care and education professionals, mental health professionals, home visitors, public health and child welfare professionals, and all others who support young children prenatal-6 and their families and caregivers to participate.  

This conference will promote infant and early childhood mental health principles to inform practice across disciplines. It will bring together a vast network of multidisciplinary professionals from across the state who all work with young children, their families and caregivers.

Discussions will center around how,  

• Work with young children must always occur within the context of their primary relationships.

• There is a need for reflection in relationship-based work. 

• Development informs the work. 

• Infants and very young children and their families have unique relational and developmental needs which require practitioners to have a unique set of skills.

•  Research informs practice and practice informs research
