Join us to explore this essential topic with B.A.S.E. experts Karl Heinz Brisch, MD and Margareth Lafontant, PhD.

B.A.S.E. stands for Babywatching Against Aggression and Anxiety for Sensitivity and Empathy.  It is a low-cost, evidence-based, anti-violence and anti-anxiety program designed for the classroom; but easily adapted for a variety of medical and mental health settings in the community.  Grounded in Attachment Theory, it was constructed to impact positively on children’s pro-social skills by allowing them to systematically observe and reflect upon live interactions between an infant and a major attachment figure (i.e., parent, grandparent).  This is accomplished via weekly classroom visits by an infant and primary attachment figure, across the span of several weeks / months, and with the support of a trained facilitator.

This practical overview of B.A.S.E. is of interest to a variety of professionals working with babies (pre- and peri-natal), children, and parents in educational, medical, and mental health settings.  Information was provided on training opportunities for professionals interested in “B.A.S.E. Facilitator Certification” to the end of implementing the program in their respective settings.

Participants of this webinar were able to:

• Explain the rationale, theoreticlal underpinnings, and research base supporting the program
• Describe the major components of a B.A.S.E. session step by step
• Compare and contrast how the program is facilitated and appropriately adapted across a variety of settings (classroom, clinical, community) and countries
