PSYCHOLOGY SERVICES
Parent psychology also plays an important role in their children’s rehabilitation. Parents of infants coming to ELEPAP are called upon to speedily assimilate new challenges and to rise to them.
Their psychological support and education, as regards their children’s needs, is undertaken by specialized ELEPAP staff [doctors - therapists]. Great emphasis is attached to the parents also being able to continue the program at home.
In addition, the collaboration with the ELEPAP Child Psychiatry Practice as part of a multidisciplinary program helps ensure infants' mental health and stress management for the family.
