Exploring Music & the Parent-Infant Relationship
Tuesday 1st November 2022
7-9pm (online), £15
Led by Georgina Roberts this CPD session will explore whether music can effectively support the parent-infant relationship.
As part of her MSc in Child and Adolescent Mental Health and Well-being, Georgina gathered a cross-section of service provider reflections on the effectiveness of music to support parent-infant relationships.
During the session Georgina will unpack her findings and promote discussion around three themes:
- what does ‘music’ mean in the context of parent-infant relationships
- reflections on terminology associated with parent-infant relationships
- considering the musical and non-musical approaches to support the parent-infant relationship.
This session is suitable for music practitioners, early years practitioners and parent-infant mental health practitioners
