The Infant-Parent Institute, established in 1986, is a renowned organization in Champaign, IL, dedicated to the optimal development of infants and their families through clinical services, professional training, and research. Led by Michael Trout, a graduate of the Infant Mental Health Training Program at the University of Michigan, the Institute has worked extensively with children in foster care and adoption systems, offered parent support and guidance groups, and conducted divorce mediation involving young children.
With a strong focus on understanding human beings as individuals shaped by their earliest experiences with love and connection, the Institute has trained over 2,200 clinicians across North America and developed 15 training videos used worldwide in clinics, homes, agencies, and universities. Although the clinical practice of the Institute closed in 2015, Mr. Trout continues to actively write and teach, ensuring the Institute's ongoing impact in the field of infant-parent development.
