Support for families

Anna Freud (National Centre for Children and Families) have recently launched Early Years in Mind, a free learning Network to specifically support early years practitioners and their families:

Early Years in Mind is a free online network for early years practitioners. The Network was developed by mental health experts and provides easy access guidance on supporting the mental health of babies, young children and their families.

You can join the free Early Years in Mind learning network today. The website offers an option to sign up for regular Newsletters too.

Early Years in Mind includes an A-Z of Common Difficulties (with supporting strategies), Coronavirus support (covering Transitions, including for babies) and a Resources section, containing a wealth of supporting documents including a practitioner’s guide to ‘Working with Children and Families on Digital Platforms’.

To support the Wellbeing and Mental Health of your staff, MIND offer a range of resources on their Mental Health at Work pages, from policy and practice ideas to improving workplace culture and a Coronavirus toolkit.
