PREGNANCY IN MIND – ‘Supporting the Parent-Baby Relationship Antenatally‘
AiMH UK is delighted that Tori Joel & Alexis Golden from the NSPCC will be presenting our July Skills Box session. We are pleased to be running this event during Baby Communication Week 2024 run by The Brazelton Centre. Communication with the baby starts in pregnancy and begins the nurturing relationship between the mother and baby.
Tori and Alexis will discuss the Pregnancy in Mind service which is a perinatal mental health programme for parents to be.
Pregnancy in Mind aims to protect against the impact of parental anxiety and depression during pregnancy. Through building relationships, knowledge and skills, it helps parents to manage any difficulties they are experiencing.
The programme will be brought to life through core themes of the programme.
Take away points :
- Mindfulness techniques in the perinatal period
- Trauma informed practice examples
- Considerations to bonding with baby antenatally
All attendees will gain CPD points and sent an AiMH UK CPD Certificate. https://imhcpd.aimh.uk
