To mark #InfantMentalHealthAwarenessWeek we had a lovely time in the sun with the wonderful 3D Drumchapel and Scottish Forestry celebrating the launch of Starting Out To Play. This is a resource to encourage connection between babies and the natural environment πΏπ
Health and social care practitioners play an important role in supporting the mental health of infants and their parents.
To support #InfantMentalHealthAwarenessWeek, explore open access videos that discuss trauma-informed approaches in pre-birth work. #IMHAW2025 ow.ly/ur1250W69bp
Every baby deserves to feel safe & loved π
When parents are supported to respond to their babyβs needs, everyone benefits.
Support can be hard to find, so we have a directory of third sector PIMH services in Scotland: inspiringscotland.org.uk/perinatal-me...

New Blog Post! The stories we live by shape who we are and how we act. So what do families do when they turn the page to a new chapter and find themselves in neonatal care? And how can we help? www.therelationalpractice.co.uk/post/fee-fic... #InfantMentalHealthAwarenessWeek
Itβs #InfantMentalHealthAwarenessWeek π In neonatal units, the quietest person - the baby - still has a voice. πΆ When we slow down, tune in, and respond with empathy, we shift from doing to babies to being with them. Are we truly seeing, hearing, understanding them? π
White graphic with purple text that reads Infant Mental Health Awareness Week with a graphic of purple baby feet with hearts. There is an orange circle with a photo of a baby sat on his mum's knee smiling, she is looking at him. At the bottom is the Home-Start logo and the IMHAW logo.
Today is the start of #InfantMentalHealthAwarenessWeek π
An important week to us at Home-Start that aims to raise awareness of infant mental health and the importance of early intervention support.Β
