Training programmes

Our training programmes aim to give professionals the opportunity to deepen their understanding of psychological stress and mental health conditions in the perinatal period, gaining both theoretical grounding and practical knowledge to support their day-to-day work with expectant and new families.

Two groups are at the heart of our offer: perinatal professionals who support and accompany (expectant) parents during pregnancy, around birth and in the early stages of parenthood – including midwives, nurses, parent advisors, home care workers and others in related fields. The second group are mental health professionals working in psychiatry, psychology and psychotherapy who treat clients in outpatient and/or inpatient settings.

Our commitment to high-quality, effective support for affected families

Our carefully selected speakers are recognised Swiss experts in their respective fields. Their specialisation and experience help ensure that affected families are identified early and supported appropriately. All continuing education offerings are accredited by the relevant professional associations. Periparto members working in early childhood benefit from a reduced participation fee. Members of the Swiss Midwives Association can also participate at the member rate as part of our collaboration.

Our continuing education programme is made possible by the generous support of the Beisheim Foundation and the Ernst Göhner Foundation.
