Building Strong Foundations: The Power of Infant Mental Health Services
Infant mental health may seem like a strange idea. Most people are more familiar with services to address existing issues with older age groups, such as couples counseling. Instead, infant mental health services take a preventative approach.
A Message of Gratitude
During this season of gratitude, we celebrate the rich partnerships of the Homeward House Collaborative and honor the wisdom and heritage of Indigenous communities with the poem “America, I Sing You Back” by Allison Adelle Hedge Coke.
The work of Homeward House CORE Collaborative is on the ancestral lands of the Coast Salish Peoples, in particular, the Tulalip, Snohomish, Stillaguamish, and Sauk-Suiattle tribes. We honor the original caretakers of the land they continue to cherish and protect.
We are is dedicated to fostering racial equity. Our Race and Social Justice Statement describes our commitment and the steps we are taking to change the systems and practices that perpetuate inequities.
