Level 1 Parent Infant Relationship Intervention will comprise of the following elements.

•Creative group sessions – Interactive for parents/families with their baby/Infant

•Facilitated group discussion – to include peer and mutual support

•One to One support and feedback to parents.

The purpose of this parent infant relationship intervention is to help parents to deepen the bond with their baby/Infant. Finding a range of ways for parents to have two-way communication with their baby to help with their relationship and to help baby/infant development.

The programme will support parents to learn coping mechanisms and tools to cope with the demands of being a new parent to develop insights and techniques to help them understand their baby/infant's development. This universal intervention aims to help prevent impaired bonding with a baby, promote positive parent and infant mental health and wellbeing and facilitate a stronger parent and infant bonding experience.
