Happy Father’s Day!
As a special treat to our Members we have two videos about engaging fathers that were recently aired at our Infant Massage USA Annual Conference. Please enjoy “Who’s The Man Engaging New Fathers” with Board President Emeritus of Infant Massage USA Dan Berman and “Bridging The Gap Between Fathers and Babies Through Infant Massage” by our CEIM Stephanie Ward.
After watching please feel free to make a donation for our Celebrate Families Annual Campaign that is focus on our SEED Scholarship Program . One key area of focus is to fathers ! The SEED Scholarship allows them to become a CEIM by providing scholarship for our trainings.
Who’s The Man?! Engaging New Fathers with Dan Berman.
We will review a pilot program from Hillsborough County, FL that used Infant Massage and other techniques to engage and encourage new dads.
Bridging the Gap Between Fathers & Babies through Infant Massage with Stephanie Ward!
During this training, you will gain a greater understanding and importance of fathers utilizing infant massage to promote quality bonding.
“FACE programs are serving BIPOC communities and home visitors/early educators in at least nine different states! Participating in this training will not only enable me to positively impact my community but to support parent educators as they work to support families they work within different parts of the country. It is my hope to lead by example and participate in training in order to encourage other parent educators to do the same – it is sometimes easier to receive support and advice from someone who has been through what you are going through.” - Testimonial from a previous scholarship recipient
