SA Marte Meo (Whyalla) 12 February 2021

The Program

The Marte Meo Program was developed by Maria Aarts in the late 1970’s in the Netherlands, and is now established in over 40 countries. The program provides a practical approach to supporting development through relationships in everyday communication.

It uses video review and interactional analysis to show practitioners how to use ordinary interactions to support children’s development and to pass these ideas on to parents and other significant carers. It is now also used in many other sectors, eg aged care and adult disability.

Marte Meo has demonstrated its value in these sectors in a number of ways including reducing aggression, and improved relationships with the family.

This Workshop is suitable for Social Workers, Allied Heath Professionals and Early Childhood Education Providers
