The recent call for the scale‐up of evidence‐based early childhood development interventions, in lower and middle‐income countries and for minority groups in high‐income countries, has seen numerous suggestions to train greater numbers of lay mental health workers to fulfill these functions. While studies have found that concepts from developed country settings, such as attachment, parental sensitivity, and containment, find purchase and relevance within developing settings, the management of contextual and cultural factors and the tensions of cultural interfacing in the rollout of these programs in developing country settings require consideration. Drawing on the experiences of two successful South African mother–infant home‐visiting programs as examples, this article discusses some of the challenges in provision of attachment‐based infant mental health programs and highlights the need for careful consideration of a number of factors pertaining to the recruitment, supervision, and management of lay mental health workers before large‐scale rollout is conducted
