The Foundation Course has been run for over a decade in Melbourne. It is also run throughout Australia and overseas most recently at the University of Cambridge Child Wellbeing Forum. The course has established a reputation for making psychodynamic ideas accessible and highly practical for ALL professionals who work with children, adolescents and parents in a wide range of settings. These include
social workers, psychologists, maternal and child health nurses, kindergarten and child care workers,
teachers, doctors and community workers.

The Foundation Course is devised and run by Ruth Schmidt Neven, Director of the Centre for Child and Family Development and formerly inaugural chief psychotherapist at the Royal Children's Hospital. Her book Emotional Milestones: From Birth to Adulthood is recommended reading for the Course and can be purchased through ACER publishers. The book published in Australia by ACER and in the UK, has been described as making a major contribution to child health.
