peep antenatal training

Our one-day training course is for practitioners working with (expectant) parents to support attachment in pregnancy and beyond. It includes online access to our Peep Antenatal Programme. 
We have adapted the training so that we can deliver it live online. The training content and access to the online Antenatal resources are the same for both online and face-to-face training, but we've added in some guidance on delivering Peep Antenatal sessions remotely.

Aims

Practitioners will develop their understanding, confidence and skills in:

enhancing parents’ ability to think about and bond with their baby and tune into their feelings before and after the birth (reflective functioning), creating a strong base from which the baby can explore the world

developing and supporting secure parent-infant attachment relationships, leading to better outcomes for the child in terms of their cognitive development, the relationships they build and their resilience to cope if life gets tough.
