Q: How much does Endorsement cost?
Fees vary according to the type of endorsement being sought.
Level I / Infant Family Associate: Registration Fee $15 & Processing Fee $25
Level II / Infant Family Specialist: Registration Fee $20 & Processing Fee $100
Level III / Infant Mental Health Specialist: Registration Fee $25 & Processing Fee $300
Level IV / Infant Mental Health Mentor: Registration Fee $25 & Processing Fee $400
There is an initial registration fee that is sent in with the preliminary application. In addition, membership in OK-AIMH (or another infant mental health association) is required at the time of preliminary application so that candidates can be notified of relevant training opportunities.
The processing fee must be sent when you submit your professional portfolio to OK-AIMH for review.
The costs for IMH Specialists and Mentors are in line with credentialing fees that have been established by other professional organizations, e.g. CDA (Child Development Associate) and ACSW (Accreditation for Certified Social Workers). The credentialing fees support the overhead costs of the OK-AIMH Endorsement (IMH-E™) and allow us to have portfolios and tests carefully reviewed.
