Mission & History

The New Hampshire Association for Infant Mental Health (NHAIMH) was created in 1996 by a small group of mental health and educational professionals. For many years, the Association consisted of a board, whose members spanned a number of disciplines. The Board conducted the business of the Association. In the spring of 2010, NHAIMH did a survey and study regarding the potential interest in and benefits of becoming a membership organization and in the fall of 2010, the Board of Directors voted to make the NHAIMH a membership organization. NHAIMH is a grassroots, non-profit organization with a 501 (c)3 status.
