Grandparent Workshops & Courses

At Ma Wisdom, we know that welcoming a new baby is a momentous time for the whole family, including grandparents. Over the years working alongside birthing women and their families, we've seen just how much love and willingness there is to help but also how the landscape of support has changed. Not all support is equal and sometimes, good intentions need a little guidance.

Grandescence is also a momentous transition for grandparents, that's more complex than many think and little talked about.

 

That’s why we created our workshops and courses: to share practical, relevant and compassionate insights into what support really looks like today.
