International Association of Infant Massage Australia Inc.
(AU, 80747072127) Browse events
YTD Raised: $0.00Even the Smallest of Efforts, Help Us Make a Big Difference... IAIM Australia works with families at the very beginning of life, when a baby's brain and social development are most rapid, and well-before any problems become entrenched. Through our extremely low-cost and evidence-based programs we help parents make small changes in a baby’s first year, which literally change the course of a baby’s development – and their life. Our focus on early intervention and prevention dramatically reduces the likelihood that families and children will need more costly services later on in life, once early mental health or social development difficulties have become entrenched. For every one dollar you raise to support the type of early intervention and prevention work done by IAIM Australia, around $25 a year is saved in long-term mental health treatment, special education and even criminal justice care (Allen, 2012). That’s a return of around $1,825 in each child’s lifetime, for every $1 you help us raise. Multiply that by the 10,000 Australian families who continue to need our support every year, and you will get a sense of exactly how far IAIM Australia can make your donation dollar go and the impact you can help us have in the Australian community. Please remember that no amount raised is “too small” – a baby gets a lifetime of benefit from every dollar you raise.
