INFANT MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK 2020

Infant Mental Health Awareness Week | G21 Health & Wellbeing Pillar

Australian Association for Infant Mental Health  is a national organisation of professionals from many fields who work with infants, young children and their families. They organise this week in a mission to work towards  improving professional and community recognition of infancy and early childhood as a critical time for the development of emotional, physical and mental health.

In the long term, poor infant mental health may negatively impact language acquisition, school performance, cognitive and social development, and emotional regulation.

Running 7 – 12th June, the theme for this year is 2020 Vision: Seeing the World Through Babies’ Eyes, enabling discussion about how the current world is impacting babies and their relationships and well-being.
