Cultural Safety In Maternity Care
” Manisha is both powerful and gentle which created a safe space and an excellent training and to train and absolutely encourages and supports learning and reflection. “
We're now offering our training in-house to organisations
All of our cultural safety training has been developed by Manisha Sheth, co-founder of Support ME. She has lived experience of perinatal mental health as well as years of experience in counselling and advocating for families during perinatal period. Manisha also has extensive experience in delivering Cultural Competency & Safety training for maternity care.
All workshops are delivered in small groups to facilitate a safe space and include a 12-month post-training reflection. We also offer follow-up consultations and further training if required.
We recommend all professionals working within maternity attend our training, including midwives, obstetricians, leadership teams and those involved in pastoral care. We also invite universities to consider this training for their faculty and students, especially those involved in midwifery and obstetrics.
Why you NEED this training for your organisation
NHS 3-YEAR PLAN
One of the objective is to 'Improve equity for mothers and babies' after they found “multiple structural and other biases exist in UK maternity care”.
MBBRACE
MBBRACE reports have continuously & clearly that Black women are 4 x times more likely to die during maternity, and Asian women twice.
