The Center for Great Expectations issued the following announcement.
Maternal Mental Health Awareness Day is a two-for-one coupon.
Infant mental health is intertwined with maternal mental health.
Research shows us that postpartum mood and anxiety disorders affect the quality of the parent-child relationship, diminishing a mother’s capacity to provide a soothing, attuned and responsive relationship for her infant.
An attuned, responsive relationship is a necessary condition for healthy child development in terms of mental, emotional and physical health.
At The Center for Great Expectations, we don’t treat maternal mental health separately from child mental health.
Our continuum of care provides services that support the Relational Health of the parent-child system, enhancing mental health for mother and child together.
