MERTIL for Parents – Practitioner’s Version of the Parent’s Course
MERTIL for Parents is a course for parents about TRUST, not trauma. It helps parents see their child’s behaviour differently, through the lens of TRUST. Parents explore the four pillars of trust, namely safety, security, repair and joy. We show them why trust matters so much to a baby’s development, plus how grow it, repair it and keep it, especially when life is difficult.
MERTIL for Parents – Practitioners Version is the health care provider’s version of the parent program – it is the same course as the parent course, but this practitioner’s version comes with a comprehensive handbook on how to use the MERTIL for Parents program with your parent clients, whether exploring the concepts 1-on-1 or in groups, or in a single session or over multiple sessions.
