Sankofa
Infant Mental Health
History Project
The Sankofa Infant Mental Health History Project (Sankofa Project) is an ongoing effort led by Indigo Cultural Center and co-held, co-dreamt, and co-created with the Steering Collective for the purpose of revisiting the history of infant mental health (IMH) and expanding our understanding of relational health.
Welcome! Hear our Steering Collective's Welcome to the Sankofa IMH History Project
Sankofa remains a powerful symbol, originating from the Akan people of Ghana, and serves as a reminder to go back and retrieve what is important from the past as we move forward into the future. One interpretation of the word Sankofa is “go back and get it.”
