Supporting Infant Mental Health Week - Enhance your practice in observing, understanding & supporting early parent–infant interaction.

02/06/2026

👶💬 We’re delighted to support — an annual awareness campaign led by the Brazelton Centre UK, highlighting how babies communicate from the very beginning through their expressions, movements, behaviours and relationships.
The week encourages parents, carers and practitioners to better recognise and respond to babies’ cues, helping babies feel understood, connected and emotionally safe.

As part of Baby Communication Week, AiMH UK is sharing our resource “25 Things Every Baby Would Want You to Know” — a reflective resource designed to help adults think about the world from a baby’s perspective and the importance of feeling safe, seen, understood and connected within relationships. 💛
