What is Video Interaction Guidance?
Video Interaction Guidance is a strengths based intervention which uses video with families to improve
parent child relationships by promoting attunement and attachment.
What is VIG?
• The Cycles of film, shared review and traject plan
• Supporting parents to understand attunement
• How the Helping Question provides a person centred approach with structure to frame the interaction – gradually reach potential trauma blocks and disclosure
• The Use of a traject plan as a shared assessment and review tool – re establish progress/ goals
What are the Evaluation methods?
• Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire
• Parenting Scale
• Parent Child Relationship Inventory
• Feedback questionnaires from parents and practitioners
• Parent interviews
What are parents saying?
• “I feel we can cope so much better, see past the niggly things and concentrate on what actually affects (child’s name)” (mother)
• “100% better, happy, we are communicating as a family. We talk to each other when we have a problem
• Anything else about VIG …“It should be given to any parent, not just when you get into trouble “(father)
• What are children saying?
“It was good because I enjoyed it” (male,13)
What has changed for you? “Everything. Me & mum get on really
good now but have tincy wincy arguments or misunderstandings”
(female,10)
“She helped me understand that mum and I can be nice to each
other” (female, 10)
Conclusions
• The VIG population of parents appears to be a ‘high need’ sample
• There are indications of improvement in the self reports of parents on their parenting strategies and on the behaviour and emotions of their children
• Parents at the end of the programme are giving positive feedback
• Interviews with parents are exploring the barriers and facilitators to effective work with parents where there are concerns over possible neglect
