Specialised parent-infant relationship teams work with families who are struggling to form a secure relationship with their baby.
Parent-infant teams are multidisciplinary teams led by mental health professionals such as psychotherapists or psychologists, with expertise in working with babies and their families.
These teams work at multiple levels in a system: They offer families experiencing severe, complex and/or enduring difficulties a tailored package of therapeutic support to strengthen and repair early relationships. They also drive change across their local systems through offering training, consultation and supervision to other professionals in health and children’s services.
We bring together parent-infant teams around the UK in our Parent-Infant Teams Network and offer a range of support to emerging and existing teams. Click here to find out more.
