Education and resources about perinatal mental health


Wellbeing for Wee Ones

by Clare Thompson • 24 February 2021

We are delighted to hear that the Scottish Government has launched a new campaign to offer reassuring guidance to parents and carers of babies and infants.

The “Wellbeing for Wee Ones” campaign provides encouragement and expert advice to parents as well as practical ideas involving story telling, singing nursery rhymes or talking. The campaign also explains why doing these little things together now is helping more than parents may think and encourages them to go the Parent Club website to find out more about this.
