Infant Mental Health

Healthy, nurturing relationships with parents and caregivers lay the foundation for a baby’s social and emotional development, also known as infant and early childhood mental health.

Mental health issues can form very early in life. Infants and young children can have diagnosable and treatable mental health conditions. In this training you learn about:

  • What is Infant Mental Health
  • How family stress can impact an infant’s development and their relationships
