This week is Infant Mental Health Awareness Week. The 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. Attunement helps babies to feel safe and loved. It helps babies learn to regulate their emotions, supporting good infant mental health.

We wish Taegan all the best in her future career as an Occupational Therapist.
