This is a truly valuable and unique resource which will enable confidence and up-skill a wide range of providers and carers of new parents. The theory is pitched well for those who have some knowledge but need something more to feel confident about those awkward questions of why and what happens when. The research is up to date and relevant to each issue and lots to follow up on. The stories and personal touches help to make each topic real and give deeper understanding. Elly's delivery is down to earth, honest and open, which gives facilitators good examples to draw from their own lives - something that helps to facilitate trust with our clients. Through this training we can help clients to understand that "becoming us" is a lifelong journey with lots of twists and turns, with good and not so good times. I know from my work that education around parenting and childbirth focusses on the nuts and bolts - how to have a child and how to bring them up. The vital missing piece is about them - as emerging parents - including change, loss, communication and relationship. Thank you Elly.
