Newborn Behavioral Observations for Families in Substance Use Recovery

Deepen your understanding of infants who have experienced prenatal substance exposure and postnatal withdrawal (NAS/NOWS) and enhance your relationship-based care skills with their parents living with Substance Use Disorder (SUD). This half-day workshop extends your foundational practice of the Newborn Behavioral Observations by applying the AMOR lens to understanding infant behavior and functioning. Explore the opportunities that focus on enhancing relational functioning between infants and their parents in recovery, and how the NBO serves the goals of recovery for both the infant in withdrawal and their parents in their own recovery process. The NBO is an evidence-based relational practice that builds collaborative family-provider partnerships in service of strong, healthy family-infant relationships. If you are a practitioner of the NBO and work with young children and families who live in the context of SUD, this professional development offering will engage you in applying the Baby and Parent AMOR observations and strategies to support yourself, infants, and families all affected by the substance use and recovery process.
