Growing Through Experience... Nurturing Knowledge
The birth of a child is a time of profound transformation. The physiological transformation of the birthing parent and the infant, the transformation of the family unit, and the transformation of communities and society as a whole. Knowledge of the physiological and psychological changes that happen during birth is critical, and our understanding of this amazing process is growing rapidly. Along with respect for the intense biological changes that are happening during this vulnerable period, respectful, kind, culturally sensitive and evidence based care results in families who feel valued and empowered as they start the journey of parenthood. This has far reaching implications for the physical and mental health for the parent(s) and child. As care providers, it's important that we have a clear understanding of the potential impact of our practices.
