Parenting Courses and Workshops
Becoming Families Worcestershire
Becoming Families is a local charity developed in response to an unmet need for
evidence-based and accessible support for local parents in their journey to becoming families.
We recognise that this life-changing time brings challenges, as well as joys, and want to be there to help smooth the transition and give new families the best possible start.
We offer a range of courses, workshops, groups and 1:1 support.
Our facilitators are highly trained antenatal teachers (DipHE), experienced health professionals (midwives and bresatfeeding support worker) and specialist family support workers, with many years' experiencing in working with, listening to and supporting new parents. This guarantees you a holistic approach to our work and high quality class facilitation.
