👶 Infant Mental Health Week 🌱

This year’s theme is ‘attunement’ — being able to tune in and connect with others on an emotional level. It’s important for everyone, but especially for babies and the people who care for them.

The first years of life build the foundation for a child’s emotional wellbeing. Strong, nurturing relationships make all the difference.

Our FREE Togetherness online pathways are here to support parents and carers to connect, understand and respond to their baby’s needs with confidence.
