The experiences that infants have from in utero and in the early years have an important impact on their neural, social and emotional development and experiencing traumatic events can have serious and lasting effects into adulthood. This is not inevitable however, secure nurturing relationships with parents/carers can assist to build resilience and can reduce the effects of trauma, to give infants and children the best start possible. Here in the CEC we strive to raise awareness of the importance of Infant Mental Health within our programmes in the hope to promote this often misunderstood and undervalued subject.
