Learning to “Waltz rather than Wrestle”: A Novel Ultra Brief Intervention Supporting Early Caregiver Relationships

Open to all, the webinar will share findings from the evaluation of Understanding Your Toddler (UYT), a brief three-session intervention developed by Leeds Infant Mental Health Service to support toddlers aged 2-5 years and their caregivers. The presentation will cover why the intervention was developed, what it involves, the evaluation findings, and implications for infant and early childhood mental health practice.
