Parenthood

Wondering what it’s going to be like going back to work after having a baby?

Clapham NCT’s Returning to Work workshops explore the practical and emotional challenges you may face when you go back to work after having a baby – and what steps you can take to tackle these.

Run by NCT Practitioner Alex at her home in Clapham Old Town, the topics covered in the workshop are chosen by each group but typically include:

•The positives and negatives of going back to work

•Being away from your baby

•Childcare

•What you want to get out of work

•Balancing your home life and your work life

•Helping you and your baby cope with the first few days and weeks back at work

•Your options if things aren’t working out

The workshop can be attended at any point during maternity or paternity leave but is probably most valuable for parents who are returning to work in a few weeks or months and are starting to think about the practicalities involved.

“It was a really helpful workshop. It's given me some focus for what I need to think about in the run up to starting work.”

“The session was really helpful to get my thoughts in order and work out next steps. I even feel a bit more positive about going back - hooray!”
