Updates From Us

We're thrilled to share some exciting updates on all the great things happening at Oregon Infant Mental Health Association (ORIMHA) this month.



Exciting news to share.

We’re excited to share that ORIMHA is getting a fresh new look for 2026! Our colors and logo have been updated, and a brand-new website is on the way.

While our appearance is changing, our mission and work remain the same. We’ll continue supporting the infant and early childhood mental health community across Oregon with the same dedication and care.

Our current site, www.orimha.org, will stay active while we prepare to launch the new one—stay tuned for updates!

Thank you for being part of the ORIMHA community as we move into the new year with renewed energy and a refreshed look.

To celebrate, we’re including a clip of a new film we developed to share our mission of supporting high quality connections for young children—a project near and dear to our hearts. 

We’re excited to share the full-length video as we move into the new year.

Every Child Belongs.

The term infant mental health and early childhood mental health get used in a number of different ways. This table provides a quick reference to break it down. Note that IECMH consultation is just ONE of the ways the infant and early childhood mental health principles and practices are applied.
