It is ideal for childcare and health professionals who have a keen interest in psychological difficulties following traumatic childbirth.
JUMP TO:
In spite of some progress, research shows that there is still a huge amount of stigma around talking about mental health. But in particular, new parents really worry about the consequences of revealing their struggle to someone else because they fear negative judgement, or worse, that they might be considered to be unfit parents by medical professionals.
Left unhelped, this can have long-reaching negative consequences for new parents and their children. This is why we knew it was vital to address this problem, and why we created this program.
91% of new mothers experience some unwanted intrusive thoughts during new motherhood, alongside 88% of new fathers. These are often related to childbirth experiences.
Worldwide, 1 in 5 birthers experience some type of perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (PMAD).
Babyem has created this course to provide both an analytical and reflective space for professionals to explore the common psychological difficulties following traumatic childbirth, including:
This Perinatal Mental Health Training (including Postnatal Depression & Birth Trauma) course will look at the impact of trauma on the brain, body and relationships, as well as assessment tools, medication used and how to manage risk as a practitioner.
We will also delve into how to support ourselves, as well as families, with issues relating to perinatal mental health.
The course will guide you to build up a trusting relationship with families, and help you understand all of the different things that someone may be experiencing in the perinatal period, so you can help them to get the right support they need.
Throughout this advanced-level course, you will develop a deeper understanding of psychosocial interventions to assist individuals suffering from postnatal depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
“I really love that the resources are embedded within the course, not only for my own further learning, but also resources that are appropriate to share with families, which I think is so, so useful to have.”
