Strategies to Integrate Content on Consensual Nonmonogamy and the Transition to Parenthood Into Perinatal Education Practice.

The aim of this clinical article is to provide perinatal educators with strategies on integrating content on consensual nonmonogamy (CNM) and parenthood into their perinatal education practice. The strategies are based on both authors' research programs and clinical practices. The article is divided into six sections: an overview of CNM and parenthood, perinatal education and CNM, perinatal educators' preparation for this integration, the three guiding principles underlying this integration, the nine strategies to adapt perinatal education for CNM and parenthood, and getting support and collaboration from different levels of associations for a successful integration curriculum outcome. Acknowledging and including all partners and family members in CNM-related perinatal education programs are part of providing inclusive and comprehensive education.
