The overall objectives of the service are to:

• Design and deliver a programme of evidence-based parent infant relationship interventions including Video Interaction Guidance (VIG)
• Deliver targeted therapeutic evidenced based interventions which directly address and rectify and strengthen parent and infant relationships
• Improve the outcomes of parent infant relationships where there are difficulties
