Supporting infant mental health and resilience in young families

In this episode, Maddi and Orlaith are joined by infant mental health expert Elayne Walker to explore what does resilience mean? How do babies experience mental health? And what can parents and carers do to lay the foundations for positive mental health in their baby’s early years?We delve into the development of how babies brains and what that means for their mental health and wellbeing. The episode also discusses pregnancy and post-partum mental health, highlighting the impact on birthing parents and those supporting them.  Elayne shares professional expertise and talks openly about her own postnatal mental health to shed light on this important topic. This is the final episode of series one of The NottAlone Podcast!
