Big things continue at Akin! Check out the launch of the The Center for Early Relational Health and the new website! See below.

🎈🎉We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Center for Early Relational Health, a space for anyone who works with or on behalf of prenatal-to-five families to promote healthy, nurturing early relationships. Early relational health service providers and partners are in a unique position to have a positive impact on child and family well-being.

The Center for Early Relational Health is the result of a shared commitment to re-focus our efforts on the critical importance of relationships in the work we do together. Through the powerful partnership between Childhaven, the Washington Association of Infant Mental Health, and Children’s Home Society of Washington (now proudly operating as Akin), the Center will partner with communities to create resources, tools, training, spaces for reflection and meaningful conversations, and much more, that challenge systemic inequities and embrace the unique cultural, experiential, and individual strengths we all bring to relationships.

We have so much gratitude for the wisdom and creativity that informed the development of the Center. Many hearts and minds came together to make this possible!

Please join us, so together we can cultivate anti-racist and anti-oppressive practices that are reflective of and responsive to the strengths and needs of our diverse Washington communities!
