The Postnatal Parenting Group Train the Trainer is designed to equip practitioners who wish to cascade, as part of their work, the Postnatal Parenting Group Facilitators’ training to other local practitioners, so that those practitioners can facilitate the 6-week postnatal parenting group ‘Understanding your baby’. 

The Togetherness team are passionate about early intervention and responsive relationships supporting mental health and wellbeing. The Solihull Approach model at the heart of all our training and resources has a significant evidence base both quantitative and qualitative showing the improvements for: 

  • the parent-child relationship 
  • child prosocial behaviour 
  • behaviour difficulties 
  • parental anxiety and stress  
  • practitioner satisfaction 

The Postnatal Parenting Group Train the Trainer is designed for any practitioner who wants to train other practitioners to be facilitators of the Togetherness postnatal parenting group. 

‘Open training’ is delivered throughout the year for individual bookings to a cohort of up to 12 delegates. 

‘Closed’ training is bespoke delivered for teams of staff of up to 12 individuals within an organisation with a relevant resource pack. 

The Postnatal Parenting Group Train the Trainer can be delivered as ‘live virtual’ training or face-to-face training by Togetherness trainers, as required. 

Once you have completed your training day, you will be a Togetherness trainer. When delivering training, our trainers are responsible for: 

  • Ensuring that those delegates they train have previously attended the 2 Day Foundation Training and can provide the dates, location and trainers’ names of that training 
  • Providing the Togetherness office with the dates and location of the Parenting Group Facilitators’ training and the names of those attending 
  • Ensuring that those they train to be facilitators have their own copy of the relevant Parenting Group Facilitators’ Manual 
  • Making facilitators aware of the need to provide data returns on their groups on this website

For ‘closed’ training, please complete an enquiry form to discuss a bespoke order. 

Contact our team to discuss tailored training packages or commissioning multiple training days.

Delegates will require a Postnatal Parenting Group Facilitator Training Trainers’ Manual which will allow them to train others to facilitate either the Postnatal Parenting (universal) 6-week or Postnatal Plus Parenting 8-week ‘Understanding your baby’ group for parents.
