Hello and welcome to our recorded series of infant mental health ‘Lunchtime Learning’ webinars, hosted by the National Children’s Bureau on behalf of the Public Health Agency.
The aim of these sessions is to create a space for you;
- to hear from some of the organisations in Northern Ireland who are working to support babies, infants and their families
- to think about lessons for your own practice.
