What if my community doesn’t believe young children can have mental health struggles?

If your community does not believe young children can struggle this way, you may feel pressure to stay quiet. You can still seek support in language that feels respectful and safe. Support should respect your family, your culture, and your reality. A healthcare provider can help you make sense of what you’re seeing and decide what support may help.

When it comes to infant and early childhood mental health, even the smallest changes can make a lifetime of difference.
