Marte Meo, which originated in The Netherlands, is used successfully all around the world to provide developmental support and connection from babies through to aged care and dementia support. The Marte Meo Method embodies the idea of ‘on one’s own strength’ and the training assists participants to develop and in turn to provide practical information to allow others to grow and develop their own capacity.
Marte Meo can help you to enjoy supporting the development of children and increasing connection and cooperation between people of all ages. You can increase your capacity to read the developmental message behind behaviour and to activate development rather than simply compensating problems.
Marte Meo encourages a new way of looking. As one mother said ‘I didn’t realise the small moments were so important’. It is fascinating to view video vignettes together to recognise how many opportunities there are in daily interaction moments to be with others, to support when required and sometimes simply enjoy the company of the other person.
Training in Marte Meo can be tailored to suit you or your organisation, keeping in mind your particular area of interest.
If you are interested in learning how to more fully support the social and emotional development of children in daily interaction moments, then you will enjoy Marte Meo training.
