Trainers:

Gerry Byrne (Lighthouse Director, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, MBT Practitioner, Supervisor and Trainer)

Eia Asen (Consultant Child Psychiatrist, Multifamily Therapy Practitioner, Supervisor and Trainer)

We’re excited to present a novel adaptation to the Lighthouse Parenting Programme (MBT-P), which incorporates Eia Asen’s dynamic and creative Multifamily therapy approach. Planning is underway for this training. Please check back for more details soon!

You will gain:

• Understanding of the centrality of mentalizing to the parent-child relationship. 

• Understanding of the attachment-oriented Lighthouse metaphors, and confidence to use them in clinical practice.

• Clinical skills to enhance parents' capacity for mentalizing; in particular mentalizing their children, and mentalizing under stress.

• 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

• Understanding of the multi-family group approach

• Skills for setting up and running multi-family groups

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

 

Prerequisites:

To attend the training, you must have either MBT-Basic training (3-day), or MBT-skills training (1-day).

If you later wish to run the Lighthouse Parents group programme in your service, at least one facilitator must be a registered MBT-Practitioner.
