This three day course will train professionals to facilitate Family Foundations, an evidence based 7 session ante and postnatal team parenting course for expectant couples. The learning is a mix of presentations large and small group discussion, the chance to practice facilitation of the course, video content and review of all the learning materials for parents.

Family Foundations is a seven-session pre and post-natal programme for couples expecting their first baby together.   Four sessions delivered before the birth and three post birth in small friendly groups of 6 - 10 people.  Family Foundations facilitators describe the programme as rewarding to deliver.

Family Foundations helps expectant parents work as a team, through pregnancy and into the first months of their baby’s life. It covers: managing the transition to parenthood, reducing parental conflict, preparing the couple for parenthood and child-centred parenting, as opposed to preparation for the birth.
