SUPPORTING FATHERS AND NEW FAMILIES
Continuing Professional Development - enhancing best practice
Basis:
Learn, in a dynamic study format, how to work more effectively with fathers during the antenatal, birth and breastfeeding time
Aim:
Skills development in working with men/fathers.
Brief:
In this course you will be offered a forum to develop skills and experience in working with men who are becoming fathers. Most fathers are at the birth of their children and many struggle to make the connection with effective preparation for this important life event. Learning to acknowledge father’s experience as valid can help bring them into a more dynamic and truly supportive relationship with early parenthood. You will explore how to create points of contact with fathers that allow for a more inclusive experience, benefiting the whole family.
Through sharing information, research, role play and exercises to identify needs in the family, the programme supports a secure base of knowledge and experience for educators and service providers that will develop skills.
Outcomes:
* Increased confidence in working with men/fathers.
* Increased skills for welcoming fathers into pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding.
* Understanding ways to support a man’s “low adrenaline” presence at birth.
* Learn how to help fathers manage their expectations in a way that contributes most effectively to the families needs.
* Experience articulating ‘gender issues’ for yourself as well as parents and increase your ability to communicate.
