The field of Infant Mental Health is a relatively new, having its roots in the early 20th century and continuing to build and expand through a growing body of empirical evidence and clinical practice. This session addresses a wide range of areas from the historical foundations of infant and early childhood mental health, importance of attachment, building relationships, responsive caregiving as well as disorders that can disrupt these processes. Participants will gain a better understanding of the mental health needs of infants, toddlers, and young children and their families and strategies for supporting them.
