Hohe Mark" project

In 2021, the Institute for Academic Continuing Education at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences worked with the team at the ISRV's Early Childhood Competence Centre to plan a continuing education course on an "extended child- and family-centred approach in the inpatient/outpatient treatment of mentally ill parents".

The training programme comprises four full-day modules, each of which deals explicitly with one topic:

1. child welfare and child endangerment

2. developmental psychology and developmental paediatrics with a focus on 0 - 2 years

3. attachment, relationship and their endangerment

4. regulatory disorders and developmental impairments.

These build on each other successively. In order to enable reflection on the content and changes in one's own perspective and work processes, but also to incorporate in-depth studies or additions to overarching topics, a day of reflection with jointly defined focal points is recommended after the first three modules and at the end of the training programme. The training programme therefore lasted six days.
