Method: The paper outlines the significance of perinatal mental disorder for maternal wellbeing and impact on infant development, and describes the model of care at the Agnes Unit. Results: The Agnes Unit has been established as a residential therapeutic unit offering short-term treatment that focusses on promoting parental mental health, parenting sensitivity and the parent-infant relationship. Conclusions: A coordinated and integrated approach with focus on early intervention is needed to deliver perinatal and infant mental health services.

Abstract Children of mothers with serious mental health difficulties are at increased risk of developing mental health difficulties themselves in their own lifetime. Specialist interventions delivered in perinatal mental health services offer an opportunity to support the infant's development and long-term mental health. This review aimed to systematically evaluate the shared elements of successful perinatal mental health interventions that underpin improved outcomes for infants whose mothers experience perinatal mental health difficulties. Nine electronic databases were searched comprehensively for relevant controlled studies of perinatal mental health interventions, and a narrative synthesis undertaken to assess whether statistically significant benefits were noted. Sixteen studies, trialing 19 interventions, were analyzed using a narrative approach and grouped according to reported effectiveness. Eight interventions demonstrated significant improvements in infant outcomes and/or mother–infant relationship outcomes and were used to inform the analysis of the included interventions’ components. While the interventions identified were diverse, there were common components which potentially underpin successful interventions for infants whose mothers are experiencing mental health difficulties, including: facilitation of positive Mother×Infant interactions; helping mothers to understand their infant's perspective or inner world; and the use of video feedback.

Emotional Condition

An article tries to reveal presumptive relationships of mental health of special educators and emotional stage of infants. In this context we discuss mental health of teachers (reasons and signs of it) and emotional reactions of infants. In specific educational environment mental health of teachers is an important factor of successful pedagogical process and infant development, as well. Pedagogue in Infant home acts as a creator of the stimulating environment for child’s space of development. The analysis of expression of emotional status of infants let us draw a conclusion, that optimal psychological health of caregivers impresses emotional condition of deprived infants. The boys are more influenced by psychological condition of caregivers then girls.
