Beyond Self-Care: Join Us for Birth of Brilliance 2026
In the field of infant and early childhood mental health, we often focus on the well-being of the families we serve, sometimes at the expense of our own. CalAIMH is proud to amplify the Birth of Brilliance 2026 Virtual Conference, a vital space for practitioners to pause, reflect, and transform.
This year’s theme, “Disrupting Burnout Culture: From Self-Care to Community Care,” challenges us to move beyond individual coping mechanisms and toward systemic support.
Why this event is essential for our network:
A Shift in Perspective: Explore how rest becomes resistance and how to move toward collective care.
Expert Insights: Engage with Tricia Hersey (The Nap Bishop) and Rajkumari Neogy (Workplace Belonging Expert).
Holistic Focus: A space built for reimagining rest, connection, systemic equity, and nurturing resilience.
