💚 Wrapping up Infant Mental Health Awareness Week | 8-14 June 2026

Infant Mental Health Awareness Week shines a spotlight on the importance of relationships in supporting infant mental health.

This year’s theme, Attunement, refers to the process of noticing, understanding, and responding to a baby’s cues and communications.

In music therapy, attunement is supported through shared musical experiences between babies and their caregivers. Through voice, rhythm, melody, observation, and responsiveness, music becomes a way of connecting and communicating.

In the NICU, where medical equipment, stress, and separation can sometimes make connection feel more difficult, music therapy can create opportunities for parents to engage with their baby in meaningful and developmentally supportive ways.

These moments don’t need to be perfect. Small moments of connection help babies experience:
✨ I see you
✨ I hear you
✨ I’m with you

Attunement grows through these everyday moments of connection.

❓Did you know LA Therapy provides PD and in-service offerings?

Last month I was invited to present at the Goulburn Valley Health Perinatal ECHO on Neonatal Intensive Care Music Therapy. We discussed how music can be a supportive developmental tool and enhance the parent-infant relationship and family experience in neonatal settings.

It is always so enlightening to see the curiosity and interest to expand services across the health networks in Victoria and Australia, and the growing interest of music therapy as an evidenced-based support for infants and families in the perinatal period.

Thank you Goulburn Valley Health for having me! 🩷🎶

Ending the week with our kangaroo ears on 🦘💚

So special to help mark the end of the Kangaroo-a-thon alongside Bree, the peer support worker providing support for families on the unit - raising awareness for the incredible impact of skin-to-skin (kangaroo) care for babies and families.

Kangaroo care supports bonding, regulation, development, and connection during some of the most vulnerable moments of early life 🤍
