May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

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. This presentation helps parents understand their role in supporting a child’s mental health development. Family STAR is joined by our presenter, Dr. Harleen Hutchinson, Psy.D., IMH-E®. Dr. Hutchinson is an Infant Mental Health Clinical Mentor Specialist and Executive Director of The Journey Institute.
