Introduction to Infant Mental Health - 5 week course

Due to a very positive response to the similar courses run in previous years we are pleased to repeat the course and the 'Introductory workshop on Infant Mental Health', both run by Becky Wylde and Eva Shehu-Whitefield.

The 5 week course takes place twice a year usually on Monday’s from 6 pm to 8.30pm. Cost £125.00 (bursaries available on application).

THE NEXT ONE COMMENCES MONDAY 4th NOVEMBER 2024

After that this course will be repeated at different intervals during the year.

The aim of this course is to encourage students to think about the emotional experience of the infant and imaginatively explore the unfolding world from the young child’s point of view.

The course is designed to be experiential in its core, offering two seminars one on work discussion and one on infant observation, asking the student to carry brief observations in the community. We also read and discuss background theory relating to a psychoanalytic approach to infant mental health. We teach in small seminar style discussion groups.
