Infant Mental Health Week is coming up this month on 12-18 June and to help raise awareness Step Toward Change will be running some special baby massage sessions during that week.
Baby massage is a gentle and loving way to relax and communicate with your baby. It has been used for centuries in many cultures to promote health and wellbeing. There are many benefits of baby massage including helping with digestion and stimulating the baby’s nervous system.
But the biggest thing about baby massage is that Baby massage can also promote positive mental health for both you and your baby and help with the bond between you and your baby and provide some special time for you both to spend together.

Join us this month and come along to one of our baby massage sessions to learn more.
Sessions are $10 per adult/baby couple BUT if you come during the week on 12-18th June you have the chance to come along and pay what you can afford in the way of a donation.

⁠
Perinatal anxiety and depression is incredibly serious, left untreated the consequences can be devastating. Some people are surprised to learn how common an illness it is.
⁠
Too many people in our communities don’t know the signs and symptoms, or where to go to get support if they’re struggling. ⁠
⁠
It's time to get real about perinatal anxiety and depression. We need your help to spread this message far and wide. It's going to be a team effort!⁠
⁠
If you share our posts over PANDA Week you'll be helping us get important information to the people who need it most. We are more powerful together.

Are you a Mum with a baby less than one year old? Are you struggling to cope, feel flat, sad or depressed? Up to 15 per cent of new mothers suffer from Postnatal Depression (PND) and women in rural areas have additional difficulty when accessing help as support may be far from home.
We are seeking more participants for a MLHD, Charles Sturt University (CSU) & Parent Infant Research Institute (PIRI) joint research project trying to understand the barriers for isolated women in accessing online support programs for PND. It will involve doing some questionnaires, accessing 6 interactive online sessions and an interview with one of the researchers. You will be reimbursed for your time.
