Established in 2001, the Wisconsin Alliance for Infant Mental Health (WI-AIMH) is a statewide non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of infant and early childhood mental health and relationship-based practices through raising public awareness, providing resources for professional development, and advocating for policies that are in the best interest of infants, young children, and their families.
The Power of Connection: Building Bright Futures is an online exhibit brought to you by the Wisconsin Alliance for Infant Mental Health, made possible with a grant from the Department of Children and Families, featuring video and website design by CI Design & Soul Shine Creative Studio.
This interactive, web-based experience was designed to help families and community members deepen their understanding of the complex and rich emotional worlds of babies and young children and to increase awareness about the immense potential infants and young children have to develop emotionally, cognitively, and socially in their earliest years.
WI-AIMH strives to promote infant mental health through building awareness, promoting professional capacity, fostering partnerships, and supporting policies which are in the best interest of infants, young children and their families.

Infant mental health is synonymous with healthy social and emotional development and is defined by the developmental capacity of a child from birth until they reach the age of five.
At WI-AIMH, we identify the milestones associated with infant mental health through the context of family, community, and cultural expectations placed on children.
Through the Power of Connection, we can further understand and improve infant mental health by learning to recognize and promote a child’s ability to:
Experience, regulate, and express emotions.
Form close and secure personal relationships.
Explore their environment and learn.
