• Clinical skills for facilitating a mentalization-based parenting group (MBT skills, group therapy skills, and MBT-P specific skills)

• Experience of being in a parents' group and participating in Lighthouse group activities

• Confidence to run the Lighthouse MBT-P group programme with supervision.
