As the holiday season invites moments of pause and togetherness, we find ourselves reflecting on the beginnings that shape us, and the relationships, supports and care that help us build a sense of connection and belonging as we grow. Much like the earliest years of life, this time of year carries the possibility of renewal, hope and intention. ✨

Over the past year, our work in infant and early mental health has been strengthened by the professionals, collaborators and community partners who show up for children and families with curiosity and commitment. This work helps ensure that early moments are met with understanding, compassion and the right support, and its impact reaches far beyond what can be seen in the moment.

As we look toward the year ahead, our wish is a simple one—that children and families continue to be surrounded by relationships that help them feel safe, supported and hopeful. We are grateful to walk alongside all of you in this shared work, and we look forward to what we can continue to build together.

Wishing you a restful holiday season and a new year filled with possibilities 🎄🎉 !

Much of what shapes a child’s experience in therapy happens in relationships across caregivers, siblings and co-parenting dynamics. Yet most clinical tools are designed to focus on a single dyad, often leaving these broader patterns difficult to observe and work with directly.

This live, virtual training introduces therapists to the Lausanne Family Play and Discussion (LFP) tasks, a well-established set of semi-structured play and discussion activities that support the use of video feedback with the broader family system. Through clinical vignettes and guided work with video recordings, participants will learn how to observe sibling interactions, family alliance, and parenting and co-parenting dynamics within a brief 3–5 session model.

If you provide clinical or therapeutic support to infants, young children and families, this training offers concrete tools you can integrate into your infant and early mental health practice.

World Children’s Day is a reminder of the remarkable possibility held in the earliest years of life. Infants and young children grow through moments of connection, curiosity and comfort—moments that quietly shape the foundations of infant and early mental health.

Across communities, professionals help make these moments possible. Through their care and commitment, families feel supported, understood and strengthened in the beginning stages of a child’s life. At Infant and Early Mental Health Promotion (IEMHP), we are honoured to walk alongside them, offering knowledge, tools and learning that deepen their capacity to nurture early well-being.

This World Children’s Day, let's reflect on what becomes possible when those early relationships are nurtured with intention and care. Let’s celebrate our shared commitment, and the hope that grows through it. Together, let’s shape environments where children and families can thrive from the very beginning.
