Call for early years practitioners to train as parent-infant therapists

The Oxford Parent Infant Project (OXPIP), a charity that supports parents to develop a relationship with their baby, is looking to train early years practitioners across the UK to become parent-infant therapists.

OXPIP works to work with parents who may be struggling with the transition to parenthood, or their relationships with their new baby, to understand the impact their baby has on them and the impact they have on their baby.

According to the charity, 40 percent of people struggle to establish a good relationship? with their baby, and post-natal depression is likely to affect at least 1,000 families each year in Oxfordshire.

Through its programmes, it provides support to 800 people a year and offers one-to-one support as well as a variety of group sessions. The report states that 91 percent of clients saw an improvement in the quality of their parent-infant relationship.
