What is Infant Mental Health?
Infant Mental Health supports the relationship between primary caregiver and infant. Infant Mental Health advocates, programs and professionals promote the young child's capacity to experience, regulate, and express emotions, form close and secure relationships, and explore the environment and learn, within the context of relationships in the caregiving environment.
