Supporting the
Transition to Fatherhood
Fathers-To-Be offers skill development
and training for those working with fathers in the time of pregnancy, birth
and early parenthood. Men's preparation for becoming a father is a valuable element
for
good outcomes for families, as well as society as a whole. A better
understanding of gender preconceptions and modern role challenges within
the family and society is invaluable for birthcare professionals'
delivery of services.

The Miracle of Birth: Uniting Ancient Wisdom and
Modern Science
"Protecting the Cave, A new father
has arrived"
The ancient archetype of a father at
birth is that he stands guard at the opening of the cave to protect the
birthing mother and their child. As we move through time he comes closer
to the actual location of the birth itself—waiting and protecting. Then,
in the late 20th century, he enters the room and becomes
involved. His first role was to protect the family from danger, wild
animals, or perhaps other tribes people—survival. As birth became
more industrialized his role altered. Could it be that the father is
entering the birthing room for a more primal reason than we would like
to think? Is there a chance the danger is now coming from even closer to
the mother and baby? Presented by
Patrick Houser
Top Fatherhood Tips
for Childbirth
Professionals
(Free download)
Here we present our 'Top Tips' for
supporting birthcare professionals in their work with fathers
and families. We have identified welcome as perhaps the most important
element
when understanding how to best support fathers. The father being well
resourced,
of
course, translates into the mother and baby benefiting.
You are welcome to use this document, intact, in your practice and for
educational purposes.

We offer Study Days for
