How to facilitate a GroBrain Baby Course

This one-day course equips those with existing experience/training in facilitating parenting groups to deliver our 4-session Baby Course:

1. Bonding and brain development
2. Managing crying and distress
3. Communication and play
4. Stress management for parents 

Trainees MUST have attended a GroBrain Foundation Day (or the online course) first, so they are familiar with the underpinning knowledge and GroBrain methodology. They must also have access to regular supervision.

Course details

Training course outcomes 
By the end of the course you should be able to: 

• Describe/model the skills and qualities of an effective group facilitator 
• Familiarise yourself with all the GroBrain activities and resources
• Plan how to access parents onto a course
• Most importantly you will be coached on how to explain brain development, until you have grasped how to communicate it simply.  This for many is the key part of the training as it is vital but surprisingly difficult to do!
