Please join ZERO TO THREE for the first in this special series "The Psychology of Pregnancy and Early Parenthood." Pregnancy and the birth of a child are significant markers in the life of not only the developing baby, but the parents and family as well. Join us for a focus on the transition from the imagined child and the imagined parent to the actual baby and development of the parental identity. Gain an overview of the psychology of pregnancy including key concepts around development and identity, and issues surrounding complicated pregnancies, prematurity, and loss.
As a result of attending this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe the psychology of pregnancy, especially as it relates to parental understanding, emotional experiences, and expectations.
- Outline the stages of early parenthood and key concepts surrounding parental identity formation.
- Recognize the impact on the psyche of parents/families around challenging experiences such as complicated pregnancy, prematurity, loss, and birthing a baby who is sick or has disabilities.
- Articulate the importance of clinical reflective practice in working with expectant and new families.
The cost is free for ZERO TO THREE members and $30 for non-members.
