Tweddle Announce Infant Mental Health Awareness Week Events
By admin
Infant Mental Health Awareness Week 2017 is an international initiative during 12th – 16th June that invites Government, industry and consumers to consider the distinct needs of babies and toddlers and to invest in the critical services that support the first thousand days (conception to age 2).
As part of Infant Mental Health Awareness Week 2017, The Tweddle Foundation invites you to two important events. Babies, Business and The Bottom Line is a breakfast event featuring Western Bulldogs President Peter Gordon sharing his insights into the road to success and the power of resilience.
Joining him from the US via video link is leading American Psychiatrist Dr Bruce Perry. Dr Perry will examine the skills required for successful and productive teams; resilience, emotional intelligence, interpersonal relationship skills, trust, respect and creativity and the surprising origins of these essential skills that impact a business’s bottom line.
Business leaders today have an opportunity to shape the next generation of workers and innovators by influencing policy and partnering with organisations that divert children and families out of negative trajectories.
International research confirms that participation in quality early parenting education helps to reduce a child’s achievement gap, increases the likelihood of a healthier life, lowers crime rates and reduces overall social costs.
Known as the first thousand days, the developmental period from conception to age 2 is seen as a critical period in shaping life chances, communication, language development, mental health along with the skills and cognition required for productive workplace participation.
The Tweddle Baby Hospital was started by Joseph Tweddle, a businessman with a concern for the declining health of babies and future population of Melbourne’s West. 96 years later, 250 babies a week are being born in the region. Join us for breakfast and an expert insight into how resilient teams have their foundations in the critical early years.
