What if my family thinks mental health support is shameful?

If your family sees mental health support as shameful, asking for help can feel risky. Support is not about shaming your child or your family; it is about understanding what may help. 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.
