ACT Program Resources

Get Endorsed

The ACT curriculum is aligned with professional endorsement for infant (IMH-E®) and early childhood mental health (ECMH-E®). Clinicians who completed the ACT Program can request a crosswalk for endorsement by emailing BCACT@uw.edu.

The Center for Early Relational Health was launched as a direct response to the urgent need to convene, support and collaborate with anyone working with or on behalf of prenatal-to-five families to promote healthy and nurturing early relationships and to disrupt systems and structures that prevent positive early relationships from taking root. 

CERH offers AAIECMH endorsement, reflective supervision and consultation, and training and community events and engages in policy and advocacy with and on behalf of perinatal to 5 families.
