Ruby : How have the challenges that parents are facing changed since you started facilitating NPP groups? The frequency that parents use cell phones and social media is having an impact on their attachment with their children and their ability to be present. We are also stressing now, more than ever before, that parents need to practice self-care before they respond to difficult behaviour.
Ruby : What are some of the biggest lessons that parents learn from your sessions? Carmen : I think parents appreciate the sense of community and networking with other parents. Participants get to relax and socialize with other parents while their children are looked after.
No matter what their status is, what country they are from or what difficulties they are facing, nobody will judge them. The discussions will make parents feel comfortable, welcome and listened to. Ruby : Do you find that participants support one another in the program and develop supportive friendships? Carmen : This is one of the main goals of the program. I hope that parents continue to socialize after the program. The development of all children at BTC is monitored beginning in the intake phase, and at annual intervals thereafter.
The developmental plan forms the basis for interventions for the child, and these are jointly implemented by BTC staff and mothers.
Additional resources e. The developmental screening and assessments of children at BTC are conducted by a team that includes a registered clinical psychologist, registered psychological associate and a psychometrist, all of whom bring expertise in the field of infant mental health and children's mental health. Parent-Child Counselling.
Parent-child counselling is delivered in centre-based and home-based sessions involving the mother and child. Various dyadic interventions are used including developmental guidance, interaction guidance using videotape, and parent-infant psychotherapy. The goal of this work is to enhance the stability and security of the attachment relationship between the mother and child by increasing the awareness of factors past and present that influence her parenting, as well as by increasing her understanding of her child's developmental and social-emotional needs.
Home Visitation. Home visitation is offered to complement the centre-based activities in which the mother and child participate, and as a vehicle to deliver parent-child counselling services. Parent Relief-Child Care. BTC operates a licensed child care for children of mothers who are attending appointments, groups or other activities at BTC, or in the community.
Children are cared for by early childhood educators who provide a nurturing, stimulating and structured play environment. BTC benefits from the service of a developmental pediatrician who holds a bi-weekly clinic on site.
The paediatrician sees all of the children and takes a detailed prenatal exposure history. The children are seen in the clinic every six months for follow-up related to their prenatal substance exposure, or more frequently based on either the assessment of the physician or questions and concerns of the mother.
Information and education are provided to the mother regarding the effects of her prenatal substance use, and any questions regarding breastfeeding and substance use are addressed. Medical Services. Joseph 's Health Centre. The medical services provided are responsive, respectful, and consistent with BTC's philosophy of care.
Individual Trauma Counselling. Women at BTC have access to support from a mental health clinician who provides on-site individual counselling primarily related to family of origin and trauma-related issues as well as referral for mental health assessments and more intensive mental health services as required. Breakfast and Lunch program. With the support of the Second Harvest food recovery program, BTC offers a daily breakfast and lunch to participants as a nutritional supplement.
