IMHAANZ is delighted to announce our first joint event with the NSW branch of the Australian Association of Infant Mental Health (AAIMH).

This event will take place on Friday 8th August 2025 and explore regulation (in infants, toddlers, caregivers and practitioners) and its link with relating in both parenting and our infant mental health work. The symposium will showcase work that is being done in Australia and New Zealand and there will be time for Q&A with each speaker.

Please join us for this special event focused on Regulate to Relate: Relate to Regulate.
