The aim is to train professionals able to address developmental issues from the preconception period to the first 1000 days, with a biopsychosocial paradigm and the evidence on adverse childhood experiences and brain plasticity.

Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
