Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health

Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health

Mental health begins in infant and early childhood.

The First Five Years

The first five years of a child's life have a significant impact on their physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development.

The development of a young child can be adversely affected by factors such as disruptions in attachment that can be caused by parental substance abuse, parental mental health issues, and traumatic loss, which can result in toxic or chronic stress.

IECMH services can mitigate or prevent the negative impacts of adverse factors.
