RIAIMH’s Annual Meeting
October 19 @ 5:00 pm
Join Us to Celebrate Babies! Meeting Street is Hosting RIAIMH’s Annual Meeting
October 19 – 23, 2026 is Celebrating Babies Week, and we’re excited to host the Rhode Island Association for Infant Mental Health as they kick things off on Monday, October 19th. Every year, Infant Mental Health Associations across the globe come together for a special week dedicated to honoring infants, toddlers, young children, their families, and the incredible early childhood professionals who support them.
This year RIAIMH will be recognizing recent endorsees and presenting an individual leader with the organization’s first annual Susan Dickstein BIG VOICE for BABIES Award. The event will also include a screening and discussion of a special episode from Netflix’s 2020 Babies documentary series titled “Love,” which explores the biology of parent-infant bonding and how early social interaction physically changes both the newborn and the caregiver.
