Infant Mental Health Awareness Week

This year’s theme is ‘Attunement’.  Attunement is the ability to tune in and connect with others on an emotional level. It is important for everyone, but particularly for babies and their

parents or carers. Attuned relationships support both baby and parental wellbeing and help babies get off to the very best start in life.

Specialised parent-infant relationship teams and services play an important role in supporting and strengthening attuned relationships between babies and their parents or carers.

Attuned relationships help babies to feel safe and loved, and help them learn to regulate their emotions, supporting good infant mental health.

Everyone can benefit from learning more about attunement and there are lots of resources and tools available to help.
