Connecting Through Motherhood

Weekly educational discussion group for new mums

Description

Connect with other mums and bubs for informal discussions guided by a psychologist. This six-week online series will explore topics that will help support you as you navigate motherhood.

Research tells us that a support network is one of the strongest protective factors for maternal mental health. Discussion will focus on maternal mental health and wellbeing and will provide education and resources on key topics:

  • Why motherhood feels so heavy 

  • An Introduction to Matrescence

  • Parental Sleep

  • Relationships and the mental load 

  • Emotional Regulation

  • Your evolving identity 

Each session includes discussion on key topics around maternal mental health and wellbeing, with practical education, resources, and space to share weekly challenges and highlights.

This group is open to mothers of babies under two years old.

Facilitated by registered psychologist, Christina Bond
