Ethical & Boundary Consideration When Providing Infant Mental Health Services to
Infants, Toddlers and Their Families

Infant mental health clinicians use the therapeutic relationship to promote infant and family growth and change. Relationship-based work, the intimacy of the home or Telehealth screen, and the presence of a very young child can, in combination, blur the boundaries between the clinician’s professional and personal responses. Using case material, this workshop explores the sensitive issue of negotiating boundaries in Infant Mental Health therapeutic intervention.

Time: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
