Promoting mental health in the early years: Identifying the golden threads of effective parenting programmes.
Speaker: Dr Christine O’Farrelly
Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge.
Abstract
In this talk I will provide an overview of the Golden Threads research project based within the Centre for Research on Play in Education Development and Learning at the Faculty of Education. Golden Threads seeks to identify the common elements of effective parenting interventions that promote early mental health for young children.
The findings may help us to optimise the most promising programmes so that can be better delivered at scale and diffuse evidence informed practices into universal contacts within early years systems so that families receive consistent support. I will discuss the advantages and limitations of the common elements approach.
