ForwardDidactic Training for Whole Family Wellness: Supporting Parents Across Systems of Care
Overview
This training focuses on adapting Mothering from the Inside Out (MIO)—an attachment-based parenting intervention—for delivery by community-based Early Intervention (EI) home visiting professionals, rather than traditional mental health providers. The goal is to improve parental mental health and parent-child relationships, especially among families facing trauma or adversity. The project involves a three-year, three-phase plan: community input, content adaptation, and beta testing the newly developed program, now called Whole Family Wellness: Reflecting in Relationships.
Provided by:
Department of Healthcare Delivery and Population Sciences and Baystate Continuing Interprofessional Education.
