Early Childhood Mental Health

Early Childhood Mental Health refers to a young child's emotional and social well-being, including their ability to form secure relationships, handle emotions, and learn social skills. It involves their developing capacity to express feelings, manage stress, and adapt to new situations. Supporting mental health in early childhood is essential for healthy development, prevention of future problems, and building resilience. It recognizes that children start to experience and navigate complex emotions from a very young age, and nurturing their mental health during these formative years sets a strong foundation for their overall growth and well-being.
