Infant Mental Health Awareness Week

The week commencing 9th June 2025, is Infant Mental Health Awareness Week.

The theme this year is, ‘Who is holding the baby?’. Highlighting that not everyone bonds easily with their baby, and that parents who are overwhelmed by trauma, or struggling with mental or physical health difficulties, need support.

Although Infant Mental Health should always be a priority, next week is an excellent opportunity to have discussions in your setting on how you support infants with their mental health.
