Mums Matter course
Mums Matter is a eight-week online course (Zoom) that has been designed specifically for mums who are experiencing mental health challenges in the perinatal period and who are suffering from symptoms such as worrying thoughts, anxiety and postnatal depression.
This free course will help you develop different tools and strategies for managing and coping with your mental health. It is suitable for women who are pregnant or with babies up to the age of 2.
To access this course, please complete the online referral form here.
What topics will be covered?
We will cover topics such as:
- Understanding and meeting your basic needs
- Breaking unhelpful thinking
- Breathing, muscle and relaxation techniques
- Dispelling myths
- Identifying tools and strategies to support wellbeing
- Building connections with others and developing support networks
Counselling
Counselling can offer you the space to explore issues that are presenting in life and are causing difficulties. We are able to offer six free sessions of counselling for new parents (with children up to the age of 2) who are experiencing mental health challenges. Funding is open to either parent to apply.
Once you have been assigned a counsellor, your counselling sessions will be the same time on the same day with the same counsellor for up to six weeks.
To access free counselling, please complete our online referral form.
