Each Baby in Florida Needs…
During the 2023 Legislative Session, we want to remind policymakers that we need to support the adult to support the child. That's why we collaborated with the Florida Association for Infant Mental Health (FAIMH) on a social media campaign focused on the parents, caregivers, and other supportive adults who help babies thrive.
When children are in nurturing, supportive relationships, they are ready to learn and grow. Healthy relationships are the foundation for kindergarten readiness and lifelong success.
Parents, educators, and medical professionals all play an important role to create safe, stable, and protective environments where babies can thrive.
