Infant Mental Health Awareness Week 2017

Infant Mental Health Awareness Week is an international initiative during 12th – 16th June that invites Government, industry and consumers to consider the distinct needs of babies and toddlers and to invest in the critical services that support the first thousand days (conception to age 2).

“This is due to the critical window of development that takes place in the first 1000 days where 80% of a child’s brain is developed. Relationships are crucial to babies during this period and are the building blocks for good mental health in childhood and throughout life.”

Take action this June by:

• Donating to the foundation
• Raising awareness on social media
• Showing support in the local community
• Organising your own fundraiser
