This comprehensive programme aims to provide professionals in the Healthcare, Counselling, Pregnancy and Parenting fields with valuable insights into the concept of Pregnancy Bonding, its significance for expectant mothers, fathers, and the overall wellbeing of babies and families.
This knowledge is then expanded into a series of parent and baby focused practical outputs, each designed to deliver on specific aspects of the Pregnancy Bonding Programme’s curriculum.
By understanding the importance of Pregnancy Bonding and exploring effective strategies to enhance the parent-child relationship during pregnancy, professionals can empower and support individuals and families on their journey to parenthood.
The knowledge base and insights provided by the Pregnancy Bonding Programme can be used by professionals in their day to day service provision to embed best practice for Pregnancy Bonding and Attachment within their existing workflows and wider outputs.
In addition, professionals undertaking this programme are presented with the flexibility of a series of parent classes or sessions which they can deliver to their community of mums and dads. These parent sessions map practical approaches for achieving Pregnancy Bonding into a series of 2, 5, 8 or 12 parent facing classes that can be delivered from Trimester 1 through to Trimester 3 in individualised One-To-One sessions or with groups of mums and dads.
The Pregnancy Bonding Programme equips professionals to become Pregnancy Bonding Accredited Coaches (PBAC’s) with the necessary knowledge, strategies, and insights to facilitate and enhance prenatal bonding experiences, promoting the well-being and positive development of both parents and babies.
