Seminar ‘Early Childhood Intervention without Tears’ with Peter Limbrick, Herefordshire/Powys in May & Shrewsbury UK in July
Seminar ‘Early Childhood Intervention without Tears’ - protecting the mental health of infants with complex disabilities and of their family members
Interconnections is part of a new international network concerned with the psychological wellbeing of infants with disabilities and their families. In the UK and other countries there is little overlap between practitioners involved with disabled infants and those involved with infant mental health.
This is a seminar to discuss improving ECI services for babies and infants with disabilities - and their families. Discussion will be based on the topics raised in Peter Limbrick’s new book (see below) and will include:
Re-thinking aims and ambitions for an ECI service
How to protect and nurture the parent-infant bond of attachment
How to avoid infant and parents suffering physical and/or psychological stress and exhaustion
How to make the best use of practitioners’ time and energy without wasting resources
How to help parents maintain a good quality of life for infant and family – and support the family on its journey to a new normal family life
The Seminar is for practitioners, managers, family members and academics. The focus will be on babies and pre-school children who have a multifaceted condition (as was multiple/complex disability) including those with a short or uncertain life expectancy.
