Infant Mental Health Community Chats
A focused effort to raise awareness and build community support for
infant and early childhood mental health.
Discover the Power of Infant & Early Childhood Mental Health
Have you ever had the chance to really explore the complex layers of infant and early childhood mental health and the lasting impact it has on the children and families you serve?
The first five years of life are critical.
Early experiences—positive or negative—shape how a child grows, connects, and thrives. Infant Mental Health is all about nurturing strong, healthy relationships between children and their caregivers, laying the foundation for lifelong emotional wellness and resilience.Â
Over the past few years, we’ve seen a growing need for deeper understanding and better tools. Many professionals in early childhood settings are still asking:
🧠How do I support children facing trauma or big emotions?
đź’¬ How do I help caregivers who are struggling?
đź’ˇ What more can I do?
We've got you covered.
In 2025, SCIMHA is traveling across South Carolina to host free, in-person learning sessions designed to inspire and empower early childhood professionals just like you.
