HEY - Hometreatment Early Years. A mobile and digital treatment program in the first year of live 1ZHAW, Department of Applied Psychology, Clinical Psychology and Health Psychology; 2ZHAW, Department of Health Sciences, Intitute of Midwifery and Reproductive Health Psychiatric disorders in the parents, regulatory problems in the infant and other family stressors can affect the parent-infant relationship and influence child development. HEY is a psychotherapeutic treatment program for families with infants (up to one year) that combines home visits and digital sessions (2 sessions per week for 3 months). HEY is designed to fill a gap in treatment for families who need more support than outpatient services can provide. The treatment interventions are attachment focused and aim to strengthen parental reflective skills, parental sensitivity, and infant affect regulation. The program is run by two experienced psychotherapists. Collaboration and coordination with midwives are an important part of the program, especially at the time of referral. HEY will start in September 2024 with two families, accompanied by an evaluation using questionnaires and observational measures such as the Infant Care Index. HEY was developed in collaboration with the Institute of Midwifery and Reproductive Health and the Section of Clinical Psychology and Health Psychology at ZHAW Departments of Psychology and Health Sciences. The development of the program was financially supported by the Child and Youth Public Health Research Competence Network (CYPHER) at ZHAW. The workshop will give an overview of the development of the program and present the treatment concept, but mainly focus on our first experiences with HEY, including clinical impressions.
