October 2023 Newsletter
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.
Endorsed Professionals.
Endorsement renewal is now open on EASy and will remain open for you to submit your information until 12/31!
Please reach out to our endorsement coordinator at endorsement@or-imha.org with any specific questions. We are looking forward to another successful Endorsement renewal period.
Please remember, in order to hold endorsement, you must also have an active ORIMHA membership. Please reach out to our membership coordinator at oregonimha@gmail.com with specific questions.
If you were not able to complete the requirements and would like to be moved to “inactive” for this year, ask about the inactive application.
If you no longer wish to maintain your endorsement, let us know and we will remove you from the registry.
If you do not renew by 12/31/23 you will automatically be removed from the registry and no longer be able to use your IMH-E® credential.
A Small Change.
ORIMHA has switched to a rolling or “anniversary” membership. Members will have access to all of the same benefits of membership as before. Membership will begin on the day of purchase and is valid for 365 days. Although a small change that will not impact membership benefits, we want to be transparent with any changes made. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to us at oregonimha@gmail.com
