RIAIMH's Community Conversation Series (CCS) is a 6-session annual series that is organized around a broad theme to showcase IMH-relevant research, clinical practice, and/or policy work in RI. 

Our goal is to offer professional development opportunities that serve to enhance knowledge of (and are aligned with) the RI Infant Mental Health Competencies and IECMH-Endorsement®. 

Participants are encouraged to attend the full series to experience the arc of conversation about the topic, deepen connections with others in the RI infant/family workforce community, and broaden awareness of the range of innovative leaders in RI. But it is not required that you attend all sessions of the series.

The Community Conversation series is open EVERYONE. RIAIMH members may attend at no cost. Non-members are welcome to attend for a registration fee. Graduate and Undergraduate Students are welcome to attend at no cost. (They are required to enter their college email when registering.)

Post Event Evaluation

Nearly every RIAIMH event will have 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, pop-up window upon exiting the event, and in the post event "Thank you for attending" email.

All attendees are highly encouraged to complete the session evaluation. Those who purchased CEU credits must complete the evaluation to receive CEUs.

Continuing Education Credits (optional)

Full attendance and participation at the live/virtual event, including participation in the small group exercises, polls, survey, etc., meets the qualifications for 2.0 hours of continuing education credit as required by the National Association of Social Workers, Rhode Island Chapter (NASW) - units and the Center for Early Learning Professionals (CELP)-credit for Rhode Island's Early Childhood workforce.

In order to receive CEUs, attendees must register and purchase CEUs during event registration.

Reminder, full attendance are required in order to receive CEUs and no partial credit will be offered (participants must join meeting by 8:45 am and leave no earlier than 10:25a). Failure to meet these requirements will prohibit RIAIMH from issuing certificates and no refund will be provided.
