And that is it.. Infant mental health week is over for another year… but we carry on the fight to eradicate the #Babyblindspot within services and give our babies the best start to life. Thank you to @ParentInfantFdn for everything you do to support us in this journey #IMHAW2022
Because Dads are important too! Happy Fathers Day to all you Dads out there! Today we celebrate you and acknowledge that sometimes becoming a Dad can be hard but there is support out there for you too! #IMHAW2022
Babies are vulnerable with their mental health when their caregivers are struggling. Covid-19 has created greater struggles and widened existing inequalities for parents & infants. Many families are vulnerable & in desperate need of support. #IMHAW2022

When parents ‘wonder’what their babies are thinking & feeling it helps them to respond accurately to their baby’s emotional needs. When babies are understood by their parents this helps babies to regulate their emotions, feel soothed and begin to understand themselves! #IMHAW2022
@LisaMarsland3 is speaking at the APPG event this morning! To highlight not only the importance of infant mental health but to showcase what work can be achieved when we work as an MDT model, based in the community in the new family hubs. #IMHAW2022
The absence of nurturing relationships can lead to psychological trauma which can have long-lasting consequences.
Our new infographic tells the story of early childhood trauma and how we can prevent trauma and mitigate its impact.

Seeing the World Through Babies Eyes! It is important this week (& every week!) to think about ‘what babies are seeing, feeling, & how life & relationships affect them’. #IMHAW2022#BelievePHQ
Infant Mental Health is simply the start of where our mental health begins. It is vital that infant mental health is looked after during the @first1001days. Infants develop good mental health when they have strong bonds & secure relationships with their caregivers #IMHAW2022
I am hoping the other 3% of professionals stated ‘early relationships are very very important’ 😂 Joking aside… it’s amazing that this percent is so high the message is definitely getting through! Can’t wait to read the full report @ParentInfantFdn
Tomorrow we will be publishing new research revealing widespread recognition of the importance of early relationships in a child’s life amongst teachers, early years professionals and the public.
Here is a sneak peek into what we found.
Check back tomorrow for the full report.
Our amazing Consultant and service lead @LisaMarsland3 will be presenting at this meeting! Highlighting the importance of infant mental health and family hubs! #IMHAW22
We are getting excited for Infant Mental Health Week next week. We will be showcasing the importance of supporting Infant Mental Health & how we can all join the mission of giving babies the best start in life! @gemdocherty@LisaMarsland3@DrKateAbbott#IMHAW2022
