With a commitment to optimising outcomes for children and families in the first 2000 days (conception to school entry), we conduct clinically focused and translational research in the areas of perinatal, infant, and early childhood mental health.
We work in close collaboration with clinicians and consumers to conduct research that 1) enhances understanding of mental health in infancy and early childhood, and the role of parent-child attachment relationships and parenting in early childhood development/wellbeing, and 2) supports the delivery of high-quality, evidence-based perinatal and infant mental health services. We work in partnership with the Australian early parenting organisation, Karitane, and are co-located at their head site in Carramar, South Western Sydney.
