Print this pageMellow Babies
A specialised version of Mellow Parenting, based on the core principles, has been developed for parents and vulnerable babies under one year. The programme addresses both adult mental health (post natal depression) and child protection.
The programme incorporates adult mental health, child care skills, child protection and activities suitable for parents and babies.
The Mellow Babies programme has undergone a randomized waiting list controlled trial with clinically and statistically significant effects on maternal depression and mother child interaction, and a reduction in the need for Child Protection Registration and compulsory measures of care. Engagement and attendance at groups is very high (80% of families attended 80% of sessions).
