This training is a train-the-trainer model for “Mothering from the Inside Out” (MIO). MIO is an evidence-based intervention delivered in substance use treatment settings that helps mothers with substance use disorders foster parent-child attachment, cope with stressful parenting situations, and promote their child’s healthy development. This 3-month counseling intervention both improves parent-child attachment and decreases rates of drug relapse among mothers. The proposed mechanism of action targeted by the intervention is a change in parental reflective functioning, defined as the capacity to recognize and make sense of mental states (especially emotional states) and understand how they influence behavior and relationships. The purpose of the train-the-trainer model is to prepare clinicians to train others in delivering the intervention. This training entails a total of 10 hours of didactic lecture.
