The future of our children depends on how well their parents are looked after.
DIEP strives to connect those who share a professional responsibility for parents’ wellbeing, such as members of governments, medical establishments, educational institutions, the media and advertising industry, and help them make sure they PRIORITISE the PROSPERITY of PARENTHOOD, with every step, at every level and in every decision.
DIEP aims to do so by devising, developing and delivering:
(1) PIONEERING ART PROJECTS AND EDUCATION INITIATIVES
Our study modules, workshops, projects, presentations and talks combine robust research and outstanding international works of art to help GPs, Ob/Gyns, midwives and other medical and (mental) health professionals understand their wider role and responsibility in relation to the outcomes of pregnancy, birth and new parenthood experiences;(2) A ROLLING ARTISTIC PROGRAMME
Through digital exhibitions, festivals, screenings and other events we bring powerful autobiographical works of contemporary visual, performance, literary, film and digital art about lived parenting experiences to the attention of global audiences, therefore dispelling myths, breaking through taboos and changing the face of real parenthood;(3) INDEPENDENT RESEARCH PROGRAMMES
In partnership with inter/national research associates and education centres we aim to identify, explore and highlight potential missing links in mainstream studies and policies relating to lived parenting experiences and promote academics and independent researchers whose work directly and effectively addresses these;(4) A GLOBAL NETWORK
We continue to build on our unique network of academics, researchers, obstetricians, gynaecologists, midwives, doulas, psychologists, therapists, artists, journalists and other professionals whose work has a direct impact on parents, with the aim to spread the word as widely and effectively as possible about any news, work, research, art and thoughts related to our mission to improve the parenthood experience.DIEP would love to hear from you. Let us spread the word about your important work. Join our global network now.
