Workshop Recording: Claudia Gold
Dr. Gold will share essential stepping stones for helping parents and practitioners get to know the babies in their care, including:
Framing Theoretical Concepts of Infant Mental Health
Framework for the Art of Listening
Dr. Gold will instruct us on these frameworks, and then apply them to real-world case scenarios. Using real stories and video examples of parent-child interviews, we will see how to translate concepts into practice, and “learn from parents who are learning from their children.” And, as participants, you will have opportunities to work in small practice groups to apply these IMH concepts using case examples from your own work!
Workshop Recording: Supporting Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health
The prenatal period has so much potential, yet there’s a lot that can get in the way. Not everyone is excited about being pregnant or feels ready to become a parent. And past experiences have an impact: In the US and globally, one in five women has a history of childhood maltreatment, including sexual abuse. Childbearing is not always a joyful choice.
This workshop is for Home Visitors, healthcare providers, Early Learning Professionals, childcare providers, child welfare professionals, Early Intervention practitioners, Mental Health therapists, and more…All are welcome!
