The Indivisible Self Model-based prenatal education program consists of 10 face-to-face group sessions delivered over 2 days. The program is structured around the five components of the Indivisible Self Model (Primary Self, Coping Self, Social Self, Creative Self, and Physical Self) and includes an interactive theoretical presentation and a practical application session for each component. Each training day comprises five 45-minute sessions with a 15-minute break between sessions. The program is designed to promote psychosocial well-being and enhance coping skills among pregnant women.

Each day includes five 45-minute sessions with 15-minute breaks. The program is designed to improve participants' knowledge, skills, and preparedness for childbirth and the postpartum period.
