Prenatal Bonding (BA): The possibilities of connection

Description

When the unexpected happens, the emotional health of an individual can be shaken. When the unexpected happens, and you are pregnant, the emotional health of the mother, father and infant can be altered. What if there was a tool to aid the parents in healing through their narrative, their relationship story, as well as foster understanding through the prenatal connection of the mother-child dyad to prepare the child for the world they will join, life they may experience, and birth process?
Prenatal Bonding(BA) is a method that creates a deep and powerful bond between a mother and her unborn baby. It's empowering for both mother and baby. Prenatal traumas can be recognized and the chance to heal them. We invite you to come learn more about this innovative approach developed in Europe by the late Dr. Jeno Raffai. Through the case presentations of remarkable families the impact Prenatal Bonding (BA) has on fostering attachment, as well as early childhood social emotional development in spite of grief, trauma, expected post-partum depression and medical complications will be revealed. The most recent data presented in 2018 will also be presented on the effectiveness of Prenatal Bonding (BA), including decrease in Caesarian sections, longer breast-feeding, and reduction in maternal post-partum depression.
