Every baby deserves the best possible start in life 💛
This Infant Mental Health Awareness Week, we’re highlighting the important work of Dr Alyssa Sawyer and her team, who are exploring new ways to strengthen parent-infant bonds and support infant mental health from the very beginning.
The transition to parenthood can be both exciting and challenging, yet many parents receive little support in understanding their baby’s emotional and developmental needs before birth.
This innovative project, proudly supported by the WCH Foundation, is exploring how attachment-focused support can be integrated into routine care through approaches such as ultrasounds and virtual home visits before and after birth. The goal is to help parents build confidence, strengthen connections with their baby and support infant mental health from the earliest stages of life.
By giving families access to support earlier, this research has the potential to strengthen parent-infant relationships and help more babies thrive.

Sammy knew exactly what he wanted to be. He dreamed of becoming a police officer working in the dog operations unit, side by side with a police dog.
He loved helping people, and he wanted to make a difference. For Sammy, it wasn’t just a job, it was a way to protect others and do something good in the world.
Sammy had a future full of purpose. But a rare brain cancer called DIPG took that away.
He never got the chance to grow up.
Your support helps fund vital research and essential support so more children get the chance to grow up and follow their dreams.
