5. Parents whose child is expected to be born with a life threatening illness or profound disability
6. The mother has been screened for participation in a Family nurse Partner Service (See A-29)
7. Non-English speaking
These exclusions have been made because families need to be able to understand and give informed consent, participate in treatment, and understand and complete all research questionnaires and assessments. Not all clinicians providing the interventions for the study are able to work with interpreters when working with non-English speaking families. Also, most of the research instruments have not been validated in other languages. The programme is believed to be inappropriate for mothers with very severe mental illness or substance abuse disorders.
