We welcome you on this journey of discovery regarding race and the impact that it has in society, our work, and most importantly our own lives. We are committed to creating a space where we can explore diversity, equity, inclusion and anti-racism so that we can become anchors within our communities who courageously identify and speak up when challenged with racial injustice. We envision learning together with people across roles, programs, organizations and perspectives within our infant/early childhood community.

Post Event Evaluation: Nearly every RIAIMH event has a post evaluation survey. We strive to include our members in many aspects of our Association and asking for their feedback is on the top of the list. Evaluation links are shared through Zoom CHAT at the event. If you did acess the post evaluation link in the chat, the post email from RIAIMH will include the link again. We encourage all participants to complete the evaluation, however evaluations must be completed by all who wish to receive a NASW CEU credit.
