IN-TIME Training in Infant Mental Health

The IN-TIME Training in Infant Mental Health, developed by Libby Zimmerman in consultation with Thom Child and Family Services, is designed for experienced Early Intervention Practitioners from a wide range of educational backgrounds and disciplines.

IN-TIME is based on current research about the central role of relationships and their influence on early brain development. Course content integrates interdisciplinary research and field practice experience and promotion of reflective, relationship-based, case consultation practices. Participation by directors and/or supervisors alongside direct care EI practitioners helps to embed skills and understandings acquired in the training into Early Intervention practice.

IN-TIME is divided into 30 hours of seminar style modules and 6 additional hours of small group mentoring and reflective, relationship-based, case consultation. Course focus includes awareness of cultural similarities and differences as well as integration of social-emotional screening and assessment tools. IN-TIME scholarships are available; for the application, please click here.
