Important Note for First-Time Applicants Seeking the ERS Add-On

If you are applying for an endorsement category for the first time and also wish to pursue the Endorsed Reflective Supervisor (ERS) add-on, please follow these steps:

  1. Complete the Endorsement Application: Submit your application for the primary endorsement category (e.g., Family Associate, Family Specialist, Mental Health Specialist) first.

  2. Await Final Review and Endorsement: Your application will undergo a review process. Once you receive notification that you have been endorsed in the primary category, you may proceed with the ERS add-on application.

This sequential process ensures compliance with the Alliance's guidelines for the ERS add-on, which requires that applicants hold an active Endorsement in any IECMH category before applying for the ERS add-on.

 

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 36 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 38 associations.
