In celebration of May as Mental Health month, the public is invited to learn about the importance of infant mental health on Thursday, May 17 at 10:00 am in the Peter White Public Library Shiras Room on the upper level of the library.
The concept of infant mental health is often misunderstood but has it’s basis in the understanding that our earliest relationships provide a foundation for our development into adulthood and shape what we expect from the world. This workshop will provide an overview regarding why social-emotional health is so important in early childhood and the role early relationships play in supporting social-emotional health.

Infants are welcome with their caregivers. There is no admission charge. This program is part of Your Mind Matters, an ongoing community dialog on mental health issues sponsored by a coalition of local community health organizations, advocacy groups, individuals and Peter White Public Library.
