Social Network and Resources

MattieClick is designed for (expectant) parents who need to have more insight into their social network to give them a better perspective of the strength of the social support around them.

Given the importance of a good quality social support network, the aims of this commission are:

Phase 1 Social Network Training.

• Participants of Phase 1 Basic Social Network Training can join these online sessions with their questions and comments. In addition, in this training, we will go more in-depth on certain social networking topics related to 'how to map social networks'. Depending on the evaluation and feedback from the face-to-face training, these topics may be chosen. Examples are:
• More on 'how to talk about the social networks'.
• More about 'working in groups with the MattieClick relationship map.
• 6 days of basic training to 60-90 participants total and the training will be in groups of 10-15 participants.
• 8 online meetings with participants (2 hours each)
• The training will be suitable for specialist perinatal midwives, Live Well Kent support group facilitators, family partnership programme leads, early help workers, perinatal mental health and Health Visiting leads

Train-the-trainer sessions

Train the Trainer is an online program that includes an introduction (1 ½ hours) and 2 online sessions (2 hours) where participants learn to guide the coaches and deliver the Phase 1 training. Additional time will be allocated for preparation, feedback, and individual guidance. This training will provide a deeper understanding of the basics of MattieClick, the purpose of MattieClick, and how to use it successfully with clients. After this training, participants will be able to work with cohort 1 and 2 participants (coaches). This phase will include homework for the participants (estimated 2 hours).
