This two-day workshop provides an overview of mentalizing theory and techniques for supporting parental reflective function. Mentalizing refers to understanding one's own and others' behaviors in the context of underlying mental states like desires, feelings, beliefs. High parental reflective function is associated with secure child attachments and better child outcomes. The workshop will define mentalizing, assess parental reflective capacity, demonstrate the mentalizing clinician stance, discuss trauma's impact on mentalizing, and apply interventions to enhance parental reflective function, especially for parents of infants. Participants will learn clinical skills and role plays, and be able to define mentalizing, assess it, understand the clinician's stance, apply interventions, and understand trauma's effects. The workshop aims to maximize learning

Ever wondered just how you can make better toilet paper? Better firewood? Better sandwich baggies? With just seven "rules," you'll learn how learners took these prosaic household items and transformed them into unique new products. The tools and techniques in this session will enable faculty and staff to start with simple ideas and build them into inventive and creative ideas--whether they're for new businesses, new products, new recipes, or new customer service initiatives. By attending this session, you'll experience the power of improv to generate these ideas, and see just how easy it is to "just say yes!" ... "and!"
What I learned working at Infant, Child & Adolescent Mental Health (ICAMHS)Jess Bacchus
This presentation was given to a group of clinicians at a ICAMHS service. The goal of the presentation was to share with the clinicians what I had learned from my 7 week, part-time fieldwork experience. I was also asked to describe how I saw the occupational therapy fit within the service.

Life Span Parenting Project
Children ought to be evaluated when it comes to their entire environment with the inclusion of whatever negative or positive parental influences that could exist, this is according to Group counseling and psychotherapy with children and adolescents. I have learned that one of the most refreshing impacts concerning parents is because mainly we work with their kids who are reaching the adolescent stage in regions of their personal/social, academic success, career development, and realm. Their work comprises of working in intervention and prevention (Denno et al., 2015). Counselors help students like who undergo rough times, for instance, in adolescent and help them in enlightening their skills of resilience to be equipped better in case of hitting tough times in the future.
The adolescent stage is characterized by uneven and dramatic integration of changes that are developmental into the day to day lives of young persons. Simultaneously, teenagers experience growing independence from their families, mood swings, and at times, rapidly increasing sexuality. The tasks of talking to them usually start within the units of the family. Often, as guardians, we tend to view our teens as fragile thus visit our pediatricians or doctors since we see them as people whom to seek advice from regarding both behavioral and physiologic issues (Shechtman, 2017). The ongoing relationship with the pediatrician and the family gives for enough prospects to offer support and guidance that is anticipated as our kids get into and move through the stage of adolescence.
Determinants of Parenting
As we all know, the parent-child relationship has a massive influence on most aspects of the development of a child. When behaviors, parenting skills, and optimal capabilities have a positive effect on the school achievement or self-esteem of a child, there is positive behavior and development on the kids.
Fig: Family-Based Therapy
Some other treatment programs that can be used to work in families include family therapy, family-centered therapy, or family-based therapy. These programs change from one to the other. These are effective when it comes to family counseling and help in coming to terms with the stage or any disorder that could arise in the process.
As far as I am concerned, therapy is vital when looking at parenting approaches. This is because when an individual is a child, through adolescent to when they mature to being adults, they require guideline on being better per.

1. A two day workshop outlining mentalizing theory and
developing clinical skills for supporting Parental Reflective Function (PRF).
Presented by Anna Freud Centre accredited MBT practitioner and supervisor.
Mentalization refers to the fundamental human capacity to apprehend our own as well as others’ minds as
minds. Mentalizing is the process by which we make sense of behaviour as being driven by underlying
mental states. This elemental social capacity is important for emotional regulation, development of a
coherent sense of self, and successful relationships. Reflective functioning refers to the measurable
assessment of mentalization capacity. Mentalizing deficits are now recognised as underlying many severe
conditions that lead to referral for psychological therapy.
A growing body of literature supports the central role of the early attachment relationship in supporting the
development of this crucial mental capacity. High reflective capacity in parents is associated with a range of
positive outcomes for children including: more secure attachments, earlier development of theory of mind,
better social skills, psychological health and resilience in adversity. Supporting Parental Reflective Function
and mentalizing in parents then, becomes an important skill for mental health clinicians working with
families.
Workshop Outline
Mentalizing and Parental Reflective Functioning (PRF) 1
This seminar will focus on the origins and characteristics of reflective functioning and mentalizing. The
relationship between PRF and secure attachment will be outlined as well as the evidence for developmental
interruptions to the development of mentalizing capacity. The role of mentalizing in affect regulation,
development of the self and relationships will be discussed.
Mentalizing and Parental Reflective Functioning (PRF) 2
The impact of categories of childhood trauma on the development of mentalizing capacity will be discussed.
The characteristics of robust mentalizing will be outlined and the session will include a role play task of
working with a parent-infant dyad examining facets of robust and poor mentalising.
The Reflective/Mentalizing Practitioner:
This seminar will focus on the mentalizing clinician's stance and, in particular, describe and demonstrate key
mentalizing techniques such as the use of self, transparency and non-defensiveness and how these
characteristics of the clinician can support mentalizing in the client. The unknowing, mind-curious stance
will be demonstrated in a role play, initially by the presenters and then with participants followed by group
discussion and feedback. Setting a specifically mentalizing frame with parents will be discussed, with
clinical examples.
Increasing Mentalizing in Parents of Infants:
This seminar will begin with an outline of the stages of therapeutic work with parents of infants. The role of
containment and establishing epistemic trust in supporting mentalizing will be discussed. Through the use of
video vignettes of a parent and baby, with attention paid to readiness and stages of therapy, there will then be
discussion of how to observe and measure reflective functioning in a parent, and then intervene to increase
the parents' capacity to imagine the mind and the experience of their infant. Participants will role play
working with a parent and young infant, with guidance on how to promote a mentalizing and mind-minded
stance in the parent.
