Solihull Approach Postnatal Parenting Group Facilitators’ Training is all about supporting emotional health and wellbeing in the delivery of Solihull Approach groups for parents, with a focus on relationships and nurturing connected, sensitive and responsive interactions. The Solihull Approach was founded in practice and all of our training is evidence-based, developed by psychologists, child psychotherapists, and practitioners. It is a way of thinking and working with families, groups or one-to-one that transcends professions and communities. The Solihull Approach is also about understanding brain development to understand behaviour, communication and emotional health.

Resources

Delegates will require a Postnatal Universal Parenting Group Facilitators’ Manual which includes a comprehensive summary of the Solihull Approach theoretical model, case studies, and a series of frameworks and guides for parents on various issues. 

This training enables delegates to facilitate the group with another facilitator (two facilitators required per group). Facilitators will need a Facilitators’ Manual each when running the group, as sharing is not feasible.
