Description
Research consistently shows that caregiver well-being is linked to infant development. Yet, research also tells us that caregivers of children with disability are more likely to develop mental health and wellbeing challenges. This module aims to equip learners with principles and strategies to embed supporting caregiver mental health and wellbeing as part of routine practice.
By completing this module, you will learn to:
- Apply caregiver support strategies in early intervention, including principles of family-centered practice
- Recognise and respond to warning signs of caregiver psychological distress
- Apply advanced communication skills to promote safe therapeutic relationship development and parent well-being
- Use self-care strategies to promote professional and personal well-being
