INFANT MENTAL HEALTH

Infant Mental Health emphasizes the importance of healthy social-emotional development in infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. At Small Steps, clinicians work within the child’s natural environment (home, school, community) to observe, interact with and train caregivers on how to meet their baby’s mental health needs, understand their baby’s cues, and support their child’s optimal development and future healthiness. Infant Mental Health holds the infant-caregiver relationship as central to each child’s development and overall well-being. Since anything that impacts this primary relationship can affect a child’s social and emotional health, Infant Mental Health clinicians support the child’s entire caregiving environment during these critical early years.
