2 day foundation training (Solihull Approach)
Solihull Approach Antenatal Foundation Training is all about supporting emotional health and wellbeing 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.
What is the Solihull Approach Antenatal 2 Day Foundation Training?
Solihull Approach Antenatal Foundation Training is designed to equip practitioners with an effective approach to supporting families and improving emotional health and wellbeing for babies and their parents or carers. The training explains the fundamentals of antenatal brain development in accessible, relevant terms to support practitioners in any work with pregnant women and families in the antenatal and postnatal period. Equipped with this knowledge and working through a series of real-life case studies prepares practitioners to engage families and young people with confidence to make a real and lasting impact.
The Solihull Approach and our network of trained practitioners are passionate about early intervention and responsive relationships supporting mental health and wellbeing. The Solihull Approach has a significant evidence base both quantitative and qualitative showing the improvements in the parent-child relationship, child prosocial behaviour, behaviour difficulties, parental anxiety and stress, and practitioner satisfaction.
