Fatherhood & Paternal Education
Dr Chris May
Evidence Informed Practice When Working With Australian Fathers in the Transition to Parenthood
There has been rapid growth in attention given to Australian fathers in their transition to parenthood. This presentation provides an overview of the current status of paternal parenting education in Australia before summarising the research in key areas associated with the paternal transition.
Dr May aims to stimulate a national conversation between providers about the role evidence can play in informing paternal perinatal intervention — working toward consensus, shared resources and more collaborative practice.
Facilitation Skills
Erika Munton
Refining Our Facilitation Skills to Better Serve Groups With Confidence, Creativity and Care
As educators and group facilitators we must prepare good soil within ourselves so we can better help the group achieve their purpose and flourish. Most childbirth education training doesn’t have time to delve deeper into these skills — here is such an opportunity.
- Understand the role of a good facilitator versus an educator
- Identify and practise excellent facilitation micro skills
- Apply learnings into real-life birth and parenting education sessions
Erika Munton is a facilitator, educator, coach and birth worker with over 19 years’ experience, and director of Birthready. Webinar with CAPEAVic, 16 July 2018.
Childbirth Education Philosophy
Rhea Dempsey
Educating for Choice or Compliance?
A passionate presentation recommended for all hospital and independent childbirth educators and maternity service managers. Rhea explores the fundamental question of whether we are truly preparing parents to make informed choices — or simply preparing them to comply with the system.
Watch right through to the end of questions (1 hr 12 min) for maximum inspiration. Presented as a free webinar on 24 May 2017.
