Becoming Us Group Immersive Training

Bringing the Becoming Us approach to you - live, online

Becoming Us Live Online Immersives are designed for organisations, teams, and training providers working with expecting and new parents who want to strengthen relational, preventative, and whole-family support - without adding burden to already stretched systems. These immersives are offered in partnership - shaped to fit your context, your team, and your scope of practice.

The challenge many services recognise

Pregnancy and early parenthood bring profound developmental change — not only for babies, but for adults, relationships, and families.

Much perinatal care is understandably focused on specific moments or needs: birth, feeding, sleep, mental health symptoms, and infant development. All are important.

What is often missing, however, is a shared understanding of the transition itself — how motherhood, fatherhood, and parenthood reshape identity, relationships, emotional life, and family wellbeing over time.

When this transition goes unnamed, parents can feel blindsided, one parent may be carrying the transitional load, and professionals may find themselves responding to distress without a clear framework for prevention or early relational support.

Becoming Us fills this gap by bringing the transition into view and offering a clear, relationship-developmental map — one that helps professionals meet parents and partners where they’re at, while gently orienting them to what lies ahead.

What makes these immersives different

Becoming Us Live Online Immersives are designed to support shared understanding, reflection, and integration across teams — not just individual learning.

While Becoming Us self-paced training offers flexibility and accessibility, immersive training creates space for professionals to:

• work through the material together

• reflect on how it applies in their specific setting

• discuss real-world scenarios and constraints

• develop shared language across roles and disciplines

This live, facilitated format supports teams to notice what they already see in practice, explore how they currently respond, and consider how a relationship-developmental lens can be integrated into everyday work.

For organisations, the value of immersives lies not only in the content, but in the collective sense-making that happens when professionals learn together.

Both training options have a place:

• Self-paced training works well for individual learning.

• Live Online Immersives support team coherence, prevention, and consistent practice.

We’re happy to explore which format — or combination — best fits your goals.

Who these immersives are for

Live Online Immersives are well-suited to:

• hospital and maternity service teams

• perinatal mental health services

• child and family health services

• doula and childbirth educator training organisations

• community and early parenting services

• multidisciplinary teams seeking shared language and frameworks

They are particularly valuable where organisations want:

• consistency in how staff recognise and respond to relational strain

• prevention and early intervention embedded into routine care

• father- and partner-inclusive practice without structural overhaul

• training that respects professional scope and time constraints

• alignment between organisational values and day-to-day practice

How the immersives work

Becoming Us Live Online Immersives combine pre-recorded foundational content (the same core material available in the on-demand training) with live, facilitated sessions designed to support reflection, discussion, and integration across your team.

The pre-recorded content provides a shared knowledge base and can be completed flexibly, reducing live time and supporting accessibility. The live components then create space for professionals to work through the material together — discussing how it applies in their specific context, exploring real-world scenarios and constraints, and developing shared language and understanding across roles.

This blended format allows teams to move beyond individual learning into collective sense-making, supporting more consistent, relational, and preventative practice — something self-paced learning alone cannot offer.

Outcomes organisations notice

Organisations that engage in Becoming Us Immersives report:

• greater confidence among staff in responding to relational strain

• clearer, shared language across disciplines

• increased father- and partner-inclusion in everyday practice

• stronger prevention and early intervention conversations with parents

• reduced sense of “holding things alone” among professionals

These shifts support more coherent, family-centred care over time.

For individual professionals

Online Immersives may begin because one person notices a need — in their team, organisation, or professional network — and starts a conversation.

If you’re able to gather a small group of colleagues or peers (typically 6-8 people), we’re happy to explore running a group immersive at a time that works for you.

You don’t need to organise everything — just the people and the interest. We’ll work with you to shape an experience that fits your group, your context, and the parents you support.
