Infant Mental Health (IMH) and healthy social emotional development is the foundation for early brain development, which is everything from how relationships are formed, how children regulate their emotion and handle conflict, to how children learn. Infant Mental Health is the developing capacity of the child from birth to experience, regulate, express emotions and form close and secure interpersonal relationships.
