Call for expression of interest to contribute to this special issue.
We welcome interdisciplinary papers with a focus on infant mental health promotion and policy at all organisational levels with specific attention to, for example:
Sustaining an intergenerational lens on IMH promotion and public health policy
- Barriers and enablers to IMH promotion and policy advocacy
- Approaches that work, how they work, in what context, with examples
- Context-specific case studies
- IMH and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) 2030
- IMH and the social determinants of health
- Implementation of the Nurturing Care Framework 2018 (WHO)
All contributing authors will be invited to engage in a core set of reflective questions about:
- “how” change in the science to practice – policy translation process worked, was challenged and or compromised (no matter how small or grand), and
- Context-specific and possible context transferable IMH health promotion/policy practices.
