Stories from the field….
This Infant Mental Health Week join us for a virtual morning tea to celebrate the leadership of infants.
You are invited to join Relationships Australia SA Children's Services staff, and others who deliver Baby Massage for Bonding in the community. They will share their experiences and observations of working with infants and their families in diverse settings and discuss how these align with findings from a recent study by child health care nurses in Sweden.
The qualitative research confirmed that infant massage is widely practiced around the world and can promote attachment between parents/guardians and their children.
You are welcome to join in the discussions or just listen in to hear how baby massage facilitators in the community sector support infant mental health through their work with families.
