SANTA FE COMMUNITY INFANT PROGRAM Caregiver with Child


The Community Infant Program (CIP) provides comprehensive therapeutic home-based and center-based services with a focus on the social emotional and mental health of infants pre-natal to three and their parents and caregivers in Santa Fe County. Licensed Masters-level therapists provide assessment, intervention, education, and treatment through home visits or in groups held on site. Through involvement with CIP, most parents and/or caregivers show much greater understanding of their child’s behavior, development, and non-verbal cues. They are better able to respond appropriately to their child’s emotional needs, and feel a greater sense of competence and satisfaction in their role as parents. Services include:

  • Infant mental health – home- and center-based individual services
  • Mother-infant groups
  • Infant, parent, and/or family therapy
  • Circle of Security parenting
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy with trained therapists
  • Concrete assistance

In 2010:
  • 539 children and caregivers received group and individuals services to support caregivers to develop a secure relationship with their infant or child which is the essential foundation for social/emotional wellbeing
  • 810 (est.) individuals in the community received outreach services through presentations and requests for information
