Announcements

Welcome to the PA-AIMH online membership and endorsement system.  Here are a few tips to consider before you proceed:

  • PA-AIMH is an all-volunteer board, therefore there is a DELAY in response to new applications, support tickets, application reviews, etc.
  • Use the drop-down box to indicate your interest in Membership & Endorsement or Membership ONLY.
  • Each new application is administratively accepted by the Endorsement Coordinator- PLEASE BE PATIENT FOR A RESPONSE!
  • Additional Information:
    • Don't forget one must be a PA-AIMH member to complete the endorsement process. You can now purchase or renew your membership during your EASy registration process!  
    • When you register, please use a personal email address.  Work related emails tend to have firewalls that restrict EASy communications.
    • Choose the Right Category. Please review the categories and applicable requirements to help determine which category of Endorsement fits your scope of work in the field:
    • PA-AIMH strongly recommends uploading your Resume/CV

Endorsement® is not a professional license or a certificate.  PA-AIMH Endorsement® cannot guarantee the quality of service of any endorsed professional.  PA-AIMH Endorsement®  does not include a process by which complaints or concerns regarding ethics can be filed.  If PA-AIMH becomes aware of possible ethics violations by an endorsed professional, complainants are encouraged to, when applicable, contact the individual's professional licensing board.  The PA-AIMH Endorsement® does not offer monitoring for ethics violations, however if PA-AIMH learns that an endorsed professional has been sanctioned by a licensing board, the individual’s name is moved to the Inactive Endorsement® Registry.  Those professionals will follow the policy for reactivation to the Active Endorsement® Registry once the licensing board’s sanctions have been lifted.

RENEWALS: Due on or before 12/31 of each calendar year.

Alliance Logo

You are joining an international group of professionals who have chosen to earn the Endorsement credential as a way to demonstrate specialization in the infant-early childhood mental health field. Endorsement was developed by the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health in 2002 and is now used by 37 state IMH associations and 2 international associations. Each of those associations is a member of the Alliance for the Advancement of Infant Mental Health.

Through the Alliance, this means that your Endorsement is recognized in each of those 39 associations.
