What are Mellow Foundation Modules?
Encouraging the development and upskilling of the workforce who provide support to parents is a key priority for Mellow to ensure that they feel equipped and supported to do their job to the best of their abilities. Each of our Foundation Modules focuses on building better relationships and making every contact count by strengthening solution-focused skills and tools to use with parents, carers and young people. We offer five Foundation Modules:
- Mellow Conversations
Empowering parents through a strength-based, trauma-informed approach. - Conversations with Carers
Enabling difficult conversations about learning disabilities. - Conversations with Young People
Focusing on young people's development and transition into adolescence. - What Children Need
Introducing infant mental health to promote responsive caregiving. - What Dads Need
Exploring approaches to support dads during the perinatal period.
The Modules are designed to provide support and guidance in key areas. Each Module offers a unique set of skills and tools, though note that there may be some overlap in the approach. After completing one of our Modules, trainees will have access to additional free relationship-building resources.
