WAFCA-CE – Demystifying Early Childhood Mental Health and Parent-Infant Psychotherapy

This training will provide an overview and clinical illustrations of core concepts in Parent-Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health and an orientation to Child-Parent Psychotherapy (CPP).  Core concepts will include attachment, Ghosts (and Angels) in the Nursery, parallel process, trauma frame, cultural humility, ports of entry, rupture and repair, reflective functioning and reflective practice.  Ways of being with parents, approaches for exploring and better understanding the meaning of behavior and strategies for developmentally appropriate, relationship-based, culturally sensitive and trauma-informed intervention will be addressed.  Participants will also receive an overview of Child-Parent Psychotherapy, an evidence-based practice for working with children ages birth through five years old who have experienced trauma and their parents that will highlight concepts and strategies that may be directly applied to their work.  Opportunities for further training in Parent-Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health, Child Parent Psychotherapy and other evidence-based psychotherapy models will be reviewed.
