We would like to introduce you to a truly unique education program focused on training Personal Support Workers to provide support for persons, and their families throughout the reproductive years. 

The PNSW program is a series of accredited, advanced micro-credential certificates which when stacked together achieve the PNSW designation. This program for PSWs which covers the period from fertility through postpartum and into the first year of a newborn's life. The PNSWs unique education and training makes them able to support persons who are experiencing a wide range of circumstances such as: disability, medically high risk, socially high risk, perinatal bereavement, mental health issues and more. No other program offers PSWs such a comprehensive approach to providing support.  

As an independent, ancillary member of the health care team the PNSW will be able to facilitate self advocacy for the persons and families whom they support. Working in collaboration with other members of the health care team, the PNSW can create evidence based, timely and personalized emotional, educational and physical support for the client and their family. The PNSW will also be able to deliver various pre-natal and post-natal education classes to new and expecting parents as well as work independently directly with clients or within various agencies and institutions.

"You are a birth servant. Do good without show or fuss. If you must take the lead,
lead so that the mother is helped but still free and in charge. When the baby is
born they will rightly say: ‘We did it ourselves”
