What is Infant Mental Health?
As we celebrate Celebrate Babies Week, we’re shining a light on Infant Mental Health—the foundation for a lifetime of well-being.
The first years of life shape how children connect, cope, and thrive. Infant Mental Health is all about how babies develop socially and emotionally from birth to age three—laying the groundwork for resilience, confidence, and healthy relationships.
At the Center for Child Counseling, we’re addressing Adverse Babyhood Experiences (ABEs) to help ensure every child has the chance to grow up strong, supported, and emotionally well.
