Introducing the Maternal Looking Guide : A Clinical Tool for Early Assessment and Decision Making about the Mother Infant Relationship
The Maternal Looking Guide (MLG) identifies and addresses a real-world problem – that mothers and babies can miss one another when they first meet in that precious time post birth – and that this can have long term health and wellbeing implications. Using gaze to identify those dyads who will most benefit from immediate increased support, the MLG assists perinatal workers to sensitively respond at this critical developmental juncture for baby and mother and assists organisations to allocate scarce resources to those who most need them. In this training, participants will learn how to use the Maternal Looking Guide. There will be lots of opportunities for practice and reflection. This training is recommended for anyone working with mothers and young babies.30 Oct 2026
