What is the Solihull Approach Postnatal Plus Parenting Group Facilitators’ Training?

Solihull Approach Postnatal Plus Parenting Group Facilitators’ Training is all about supporting emotional health and wellbeing in the delivery of Solihull Approach groups for parents, 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 difference will it make?

Solihull Approach Postnatal Plus Parenting Group Facilitators’ Training is designed to equip practitioners with an effective approach to deliver the 8-week ‘Understanding your baby’ Postnatal Plus parenting group, combining traditional postnatal information with supporting families in their relationship with their baby. This group has smaller numbers of parents than usual (6-8) and is aimed at parents with relationship difficulties with their baby.

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.

How is it delivered?

The Solihull Approach Parenting Group Facilitators’ Training is designed for any practitioner working with babies, young children and school-aged children, young people and their families within the context of a parent group to support the use of the Solihull Approach.

‘Open training’ is delivered throughout the year for individual bookings to a cohort of 12 delegates.

‘Closed’ training is bespoke delivered for teams of staff of between 6-12 individuals within an organisation with a relevant resource pack.

Training can be delivered as ‘live virtual’ training or face-to-face training by Solihull Approach trainers, as required.

Delegates will require a Postnatal Plus Parenting Group Facilitators’ Manual which includes a comprehensive summary of the Solihull Approach theoretical model, case studies, and a series of frameworks and guides for parents on various issues.

This training enables attendees to facilitate the group with another facilitator (two facilitators required per group). Facilitators will need a Facilitators’ Manual each when running the group, as sharing is not feasible.
