This is why we do what we do!
Yes, mental health includes babies.
This isn’t just a parenting issue.
It’s a community issue. A human one.
When Katie’s family lost their baby son, their older daughter Keeva, who was just a toddler at the time, carried that grief in silence. As her anxiety grew, it began to affect her baby sister, Nelwyn, who became withdrawn and clingy at child care. No one connected her behavior to the loss.
Too often, systems dismiss what babies carry.
But trauma doesn’t wait for language.
And healing shouldn’t have to wait either.
Keeva was eventually diagnosed with PTSD.
Nelwyn found healing through trauma-informed care and connection.
But accessing that care took relentless effort.
This is why believing in babies means supporting their mental health. Early, seriously, and systemically.
