NEW Research publication
We’re excited to share our latest publication: MERTIL for Parents: Pilot Study of an Attachment and Trauma-Informed Online Parenting Program
MERTIL for Parents is a brief, online, attachment‑ and trauma‑informed program designed to strengthen early relational wellbeing. The pilot study highlights strong potential for broad, scalable impact.
Key Findings
- Highly acceptable to parents — Most participants found the program useful, the length appropriate, and all were willing to recommend it to others.
- Meaningful improvements at 3‑month follow‑up — Parents reported increased parenting confidence, better parent–child attunement, greater enjoyment of the relationship, more help‑seeking readiness, and reduced irritability, with medium-to-large effect sizes.
- Strong promise as a scalable early‑relational‑health intervention — The program fills a major gap in accessible, brief, evidence‑informed online relational support for families with young children.
