Conference call for BaBs leaders

Today BaBs had a conference call meeting, with leaders coming together by telephone or Skype. We had people at Melbourne sites, as well as Mt Macedon (Vic), and Stanthorpe (Qld).

The meeting was called to hear from facilitators and other group leaders, and to identify any issues that need further work in some or all of the groups. These include:

Preparing and supporting new group facilitators, as facilitators step down and move on from babs
Attracting midwives and encouraging them to be involved
Protecting people from conflict of interest issues
Maintaining the focus of babs on peer support for mothers during pregnancy and the first year
Sharing plans and processes between groups.

As an outcome of todays meeting, we plan to review guidelines and revise to reflect the current expressed needs of group leaders.

We look forward to future conference calls for babs leaders.
