Introduction to R.I.S.K Training Course
PROFESSIONALS HUB
Most babies will never meet a specialist — but they will meet you.
The R.I.S.K. Training equips you to make that moment count. Every baby begins as a seed full of potential — fragile, hopeful, ready to grow. But growth depends on care. On the people around them noticing, listening, and acting early when something isn’t right. If you work with families, then you hold part of that promise too. This short, powerful session gives you the knowledge, confidence, and compassion to safeguard the emotional well-being of babies and parents during those crucial first 1001 days, and to play your part in shaping a stronger, kinder future for all.
More than 80% of professionals told us they’ll use what they learned in their day-to-day work with families.
98% of attendees would recommend DorPIP as a training provider.
In the UK, fewer than 30 specialised parent–infant teams exist, meaning most babies will never have access to expert support. Yet 1 in 5 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers experience perinatal mental health difficulties. The early relationship between parent and baby is the most powerful protective factor we have, and everyone working with families can help strengthen it.
• 42% of CAMHS services in England will not see a child under two.
• The long-term cost to society from perinatal mental health difficulties is £8.1 billion per year.
• Early relational support saves money and changes lives.
The R.I.S.K. Training is your opportunity to appreciate, act and advocate — to see the world through the baby’s eyes and respond in ways that protect and nurture the caregiving relationship and environment.
