A Discussion on Inclusion: Engaging Grandparents in IMH Practice

This training is sponsored generously by the Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network (DWHN). Therefore, training attendees need to be employed by a Detroit Wayne Infant Mental Health program and a registration code is required to register.

Training Description:

As Infant Mental Health home visitors it’s important to understand the development stages of the baby, while also recognizing that their caregivers are experiencing developmental stages. The unanticipated role of surrogate parent, or primary caregiver, can disrupt the normal life cycle for an older adult. This training will focus on inclusion and how IMH home visitors can engage grandparents in Infant Mental Health Services. This training will be interactive and will consider questions such as:

• How did this grandparent come into parenthood with their grandchild? Was it anticipated?
• What developmental stage is the infant/toddler in and how does this relate to the developmental stage of their grandparent?
• What cultural values and beliefs must the IMH home visitor consider when engaging in services with caregiver-child dyads that live in the grandparent’s home?
