Minnesota Association for Children's Mental Health

What Minnesota Association for Children's Mental Health does

Minnesota Association for Children's Mental Health (MACMH) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1989 and headquartered at 23 Empire Drive, Suite 1000, in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The organization promotes optimal mental health from prenatal to young adulthood and serves two primary constituencies: (1) families and caregivers navigating children's mental health challenges, and (2) mental health and education professionals — including school psychologists, therapists, social workers, and early childhood educators — who need training, endorsement, and continuing education. MACMH operates through three divisions: Youth & Family (free resources, educational opportunities, and family coaching), Infant & Early Childhood (workforce development, endorsement, reflective consultation, and the annual IEC Multidisciplinary Conference), and Professional Development (training series, continuing education, and the Child & Adolescent Mental Health Conference).

MACMH's core offerings are content- and event-based rather than technology-based. The product portfolio includes two annual conferences (Child & Adolescent Mental Health Conference and the IEC Conference, with the latter running its 9th annual iteration in November 2026), a monthly webinar training series, on-demand recorded trainings, the Sources of Strength upstream suicide prevention program, Teen and Youth Mental Health First Aid curricula, Certified Family Peer Specialist training, a 200+ page Infant & Early Childhood Guide plus diagnosis fact sheets, and the Mental Health Bytes podcast. A nationally-recognized IMH-E® endorsement process for infant and early childhood mental health specialists is operated through the IEC division. No proprietary technology platform powers these services; distribution runs through the macmh.org website and members.macmh.org member portal.

Revenue derives from a diversified mix of streams: conference registration fees, paid training webinars (live and on-demand), annual Infant & Early Childhood Division membership dues, online store product sales (books and the 200+ page guide), and donations via the Amazon Wish List and the GiveMN platform. MACMH is a state organization of the National Federation of Families and offers national membership pathways through the Alliance for the Advancement of Infant Mental Health. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; a freemium model governs basic newsletter/event access, while the IEC membership operates on an annual subscription basis. The organization maintains a small staff (11–50 employees) led by an Interim Executive Director, with advisory ties to the University of Minnesota.
