Post Natal Support Group

Becoming a mother can be both a very joyous and a very stressful / difficult time. Some mothers find it difficult coping with the stress of caring for a new baby. This is sometimes complicated by family and marital demands. Different women cope in various ways according to the level of support they experience during this time. Some women may experience feelings of isolation, loneliness, depression, anxiety and a general sense of not feeling well.

These are relevant issues for many women and as such need to be addressed in a supportive environment. The support group offered by the Psychologists at Concepts has been designed with these needs in mind. The aim of the group is to increase women's resillience and ability to cope with changes following childbirth.

The support group will address the variety of feelings experiences by the individual members of the group and will include:
- Setting realistic expectations;
- Finding a balance between being an individual, a partner and a mother;
- Identifying and establishing support networks; and
- Establishing and maintaining a positive emotional wellbeing.

The Post Natal Support Groups are run according to interest so if you would like to participate in a Post Natal Support Group or would like some further information, please email us your details and we will get the requested information sent out to you.
