Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health: An Investment for Our Future
Babies and toddlers’ emotional wellness depends on secure relationships with parents and other caregivers that let them feel safe, able to learn, and engage positively with others. Because these relationships are so key to child development, supporting caregivers supports children. When families are supported in this way, their children grow up to have better school and work performance, more resilience to trauma, and fewer mental health concerns in adulthood.

The Fruit of Trauma, Dysfunction, and Disappointments
Our world, friends, family, work, our direct surroundings, are filled with moments that bring hurt and wounding. When we are able to expose the lies that we have believed, then we can shift ourselves into truth. Lies break relationship wit God, with others, and with ourself. Truth brings freedom, and removes the effects of our trauma, dysfunction, and disappointments.
