Infant and family mental health: Integrating lived experience expertise into your practice | Online

Presented in partnership with Emerging Minds

Explore how lived experience workers are incorporated into infant mental health care, and how peer perspectives can be integrated into multidisciplinary practice when supporting infants, toddlers and their families. You’ll learn how lived experience approaches can strengthen engagement, build stronger relationships, and improve outcomes in infant and toddler mental health care.

Learning outcomes

• Describe how peer workers support parental confidence, and promote caregiving that nurtures infants’ emerging autonomy, emotional security, and developmental wellbeing.
• Outline how lived experience peer roles support parents in early parenting and the developmental changes experienced in first three years.
• Identify organisational actions that support lived experience peer work roles, including role clarity, supervision structures, wellbeing supports, and co production practices.
