The course will give you the opportunity to meet and connect with other parents who are also struggling and each week the facilitators will provide you with information, skills and strategies to help you manage and improve how you are feeling. These skills and techniques are based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
Techniques covered include:
  • Managing symptoms of low mood, anxiety, stress and worry
  • Relaxation and mindfulness techniques
  • Identifying unhelpful thoughts and learning to manage them
  • Assertiveness and techniques to improve communication with those around you so that it is easier to get support
  • Problem solving techniques

The sessions are run every week for 2 hours and each course lasts for 7 weeks. The courses are run by a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP) and a Health Visitor and can be attended online or in person. Babies are welcome to attend with you.
