Working with Children at Risk: Psycho-Educational Services October 2020 – January 2021

Families and children referred to psycho-educational services for care, often face complex family situations, such as poverty and exclusion, mental and/or physical disability, divorce disputes, violence and neglect. These stressful situations are potentially harmful to parents’ ability to respond to their children’s needs sensitively and appropriately. Mentalization-based intervention helps parents and children to develop skills, and understand both their own and others’ feelings, even in situations where regulatory capabilities are compromised. Mentalization skills are acquired and have the potential to prevent generational transference of violence and abusive relationships. Target audience: Educational psychologists in psycho-educational services and welfare social workers in Lod, educational psychologists in psycho-educational services in Kfar Saba
