Infant Mental Health Online (IMHOL)
Until Infant Mental Health Online (IMHOL) there was no standardised training in infant mental health in the United Kingdom for front line professionals who work with babies/children and their families. Infant Mental Health Online (IMHOL) was designed to address this need.
Parent Infant Interaction Observation Scale (PIIOS)
The PIIOS is a validated, easy to use tool, designed with the front line practitioner in mind to assess parent-infant interaction between 2 - 7 months. The PIIOS has been developed to meet the need for a short, easily accessible screening tool to assess parental attunement for professionals such as health visitors, midwives, nursery nurses, social workers and psychologists.
