Family STAR Talks with the Expert – Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health

Infant mental health, also called “early childhood mental health,” refers to the mental health of young children from birth to age five. Very young children need guidance to learn how to express and manage their emotions in healthy ways. Parents and caregiver relationships play an important role in the mental health of infants and young children. Attachment relationships form in infancy and early childhood, and are molded through appropriate interactions with adults.

Join Family STAR as we discuss this topic with Dr. Harleen Hutchinson, an Infant Mental Health Clinical Mentor Specialist, President of The Florida Association of Infant Mental Health, and Executive Director of The Journey Institute.
