Infant Mental Health
This 15-part training program aims to raise awareness and understanding of the unique needs of infants and toddlers in order to promote healthy social-emotional development in the early years and reduce the likelihood of poor mental and physical health outcomes in the later years.When there are identified risks and disorders in young children or in family functioning, well-planned and evidence-informed intervention can promote optimal outcomes. The science is clear – early experiences in the first three years impact the architecture of the brain – this impact can be lifelong and profoundly positive or negative depending on the quality and consistency of the experiences.
