For fathers

Dads, this is for you too. Both of our preterm and sick baby online courses are also designed with consideration for fathers and partners to understand the newborn care provided in hospital and what your baby needs when settling in at home, helping you provide the best possible support. By getting involved and understanding the early stages of development, we’ll help build your confidence so you can be there for your baby and your partner. Your relationship will be one of the most important to help your baby thrive, so the courses have tailored sections for you, too!

Grandparents

These online courses are designed to be accessible for everyone, and we know how important grandparents are in supporting parent and baby to thrive, whether that’s whilst they’re still in hospital or adjusting to being at home. Check in on the most recent information to understand how your adult child might be feeling as they journey through this season of neonatal care with their own baby. 

Support throughout your parenting journey

Siblings or older children of babies experiencing neonatal care may wonder what’s going on and need support themselves. These sibling responsibilities can feel hard to know how to manage alongside hospital visits, but inourplace is here for you throughout your parenting. 

Tailored online courses and resources will help you learn about childhood development, behaviour, communication and lots more, to help you nurture a relationship with your children that builds confidence, resilience and emotional awareness at every age and stage. 

We also have support for understanding your emotional health with courses designed to support your adult relationships and specialist information on trauma.
