Partnership Package

Partner with Purpose

The 19th World Congress of the World Association for Infant Mental Health (WAIMH 2026) will bring together more than 1,500 professionals, researchers, and advocates from around the world all dedicated to strengthening the mental health and wellbeing of infants, young children, and families.

By partnering with WAIMH 2026, your organization joins a global community committed to equity, innovation, and impact. Together, we can shape conversations that influence policy, inform practice, and create real-world change for children and families everywhere

Our Partnership Approach

At #WAIMH2026, partnership goes beyond sponsorship. It’s about aligning missions, sharing values, and co-creating experiences that leave a legacy long after the Congress concludes. Our approach is guided by three principles:

• Purpose over placement – visibility that connects your brand to meaningful outcomes.
• Mutual value – creating opportunities that benefit both the Congress and the partner.
• Integrity and inclusion – collaborations that reflect transparency, respect, and shared commitment to infant and early mental health.

Whether your organization supports accessibility, wellness, knowledge exchange, or community connection, there’s a place for you within the WAIMH 2026 partnership network.

Each partnership is customized to reflect shared goals and values.
