Wellbeing and Resilience Among 1-3 Years Old Children of Mothers with Complex Mental Health Problems: a Pragmatic Clinical Trial of Online VIPP-SD Vs. Care As Usual

The Video-feedback Intervention to promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipline is delivered online in this study. VIPP-SD is a manualized parenting intervention. The online version consists of 12 individual sessions, where the first and hereafter every second session consists of video recordings of mother and child in pre-defined everyday situations. The recordings are reviewed and discussed with the mother/parents during subsequent video-feedback sessions, where positive sequences in the interaction are pointed out by the intervener and form the basis of a discussion of pre-defined themes regarding child signals, attachment, child development, limit setting and sensitive parenting. The 12 sessions are conducted within five months from randomization with weekly or bi-weekly intervals.

Care As Usual is defined as any kind of help and support the parents may receive related to the socio-emotional development and mental wellbeing of their child in the municipality or the mental health services.
