Supporting families to plan for pregnancy

This free training covers how to empower women and their families to improve the outcome of future generations by optimising their physical, psychological and social wellbeing prior to conception. The Starting Well programme endeavours to reduce inequities in the health outcomes of children in highly deprived areas and ethnically diverse populations by an upstream focus on preconception health.

You will be provided with some of the information about lifestyle, physical health and mental health which can be improved prior to pregnancy so that you can support potential parents in asking for more specialist help where necessary. We will explore your role in supporting women, partners and their families with the ambition of women in being able to have healthier pregnancies, including choosing if and when to become pregnant.

The training is delivered by Bevan who deliver health and well-being services to inclusion health groups including people experiencing homelessness, refugee and asylum seekers, sex working women, traveller and gypsy communities and other marginalised communities and individuals.

Bevan is passionate about delivering care and support in an individualised and strengths focused way
