Centering is a MODEL OF EMPOWERMENT… that encourages people to take responsibility for their health and to interact
positively with the health care system. This workshop will provide a theoretical basis for care re-design using groups. During the
workshop, participants will learn to provide prenatal care in groups and will review facilitative leadership skills.
WHAT IS CENTERINGPREGNANCY?
This CenteringPregnancy model provides prenatal care for women in a group setting, incorporating the three elements of prenatal care: assessment, education,
and support into an integrated format that takes place within the group.
The program has a structured component for providing individual attention within the group setting, thus eliminating the need for traditional exam room
visits. There is a systematic educational program that facilitates learning through interaction and sharing among members. A strong aspect of the model is the
involvement of women in self-care activities and the availability of a variety of self-assessment tools.
