Perinatal mental health training course
In your role supporting the parents’ journey there may be times when you feel something is ‘not right’ and the parent requires extra support.
This can leave some Maternity Nurses confused about what is happening and what to do about it.
Our course helps to guide you through some of the dilemmas, barriers and successes, to help you understand ways in which you can help the parent and when to refer onto other health agencies.
Following the training we offer consultancy or supervisory sessions to help you to discuss, with qualified staff, your successes or challenges.
