Self-directed online training
Event description
This free online course will provide you with an introduction to a relationship-based framework that promotes the mental health of children aged 0-5 years. The course provides three interrelated practice positions to reflect upon when working with infants, toddlers and families.1. Ally position: collaborating with parents to form a trusting alliance, working to understand the psychosocial factors that influence infant mental health.
2. Advocate position: observe and gain an understanding of the significance of brain development, cues for connection, play and developmental transitions during the infant and toddler stages.
3. Awareness of relationship: observe and engage in curious conversations about the parent-child relationship and the family’s interactions.
This course will help you to interchange between an ally and advocate perspective and have an awareness of the parent-child relationship for undertstanding infants’ and toddlers’ needs and to better support their wellbeing.
