Prenatal Educator for conscious parenting

Collaborations:

First European Multidisciplinary University course on the topic of prenatal life, with the participation of experts of national and international caliber.

I Edition Academic Year 2014-2015

The Prenatal Educator is a new Professional in the medical, psychological and social field. Caring for the months of pregnancy means not only investing in the global health of the unborn, but also supporting the construction of peace for the entire community.

The most prominent scholars in the medical, psychological, and socio political arena have clearly established the existence of significant correlations between the social and psychological and physical discomfort suffered by mothers during pregnancy, and the unborn’s emotional, relational and psychomotoric disabilities. As a matter of fact a pregnancy lived consciously in harmonious and positive contexts leads to the child’s wellbeing and harmony, with positive repercussions on the entire social fabric.

The latest scientific studies indisputably prove that the psychological well being of each individual is also determined by the physical and mental state of the mother during gestation. Not merely the mother but rather both parents, with their emotional and mental states, with their physical condition, their diet, the quality of their relationships and their way of life, may influence the quality and state of the newborn’s overall health, including therefore his character and his cognitive abilities.

" The redemption and salvation of the world depends on the moral and cultural elevation of the status of women, since it is in the womb that the destiny of the new generations is forged " Gandhi

The Call for admission to the Course will be released in the month of January 2015.

Objectives

Focusing on Prenatal Education and Peace-building, the course provides a series of top professional skills, also to professionals who already work in medical and paramedical contexts, to provide them with a range of additional skills that can be summarized as follows:

Medical and scientific knowledge with practical use
Psychological and sociological skills
Practices and protocols for prevention and prenatal and perinatal therapy
Socioeconomic, political, legal, historical and cultural skills aimed at understanding the links between parenting awareness and prevention and conflict transformation

Career opportunities

The multidisciplinary nature of the course implies that it is aimed at professionals in the medical, paramedical and obstetrician fields, and even at psychologists, social workers and staff of governmental and non-governmental organizations operating in territories in conflict. It is therefore intended also to all those who interact in highly aggressive contexts of social unrest and social conflicts.
