2025 Mothering from the Inside Out Didactic Training
Overview
Mothering from the Inside Out is an evidence-based intervention delivered in substance use treatment settings that help 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. This training in this intervention entails a total of 16 hours of didactic lectures.
