Mental health in infancy and early childhood
This resource supports service leaders, commissioners and policy teams to develop a whole-system approach to help babies and young children to enable them to develop the capacities to be mentally healthy throughout their lives. Evidence shows that the mental health needs of babies and young children present differently than in older children and young people. This toolkit acknowledges that it can be harder for professionals to work together to promote and protect mental health at this life stage and suggests practical steps.
