Why Infant Mental Health?

• 14-26% of young children can be diagnosed with a mental health disorder. Mental health disorders in young children can look like aggression, hyperactivity, anxiety and depression.
• Early experiences lay the foundation of healthy development and provide opportunities for prevention, early detection, and treatment.
• Children ages 0-3 are more likely to be victims of abuse and neglect. In Oklahoma over 30% of children with substantiated abuse or neglect in 2017 were under that age of 3.
• As Infant Mental Health Education and Training increases in Oklahoma, so does the need for continued support and ongoing learning opportunities.
