Perinatal Well-Being Seminar: Getting it right from the start.

What happens to the baby’s brain in utero sets the foundation of all potential, growth and development from then on. We know that maternal stress hormones directly pass onto baby and can influence brain development. Helping women in pregnancy with stress reduction and resilience techniques is important.

Midwives, nurses, doctors and other professionals/support people are uniquely placed to assist with this by supporting mental-emotional adjustment required of parents during pregnancy, birthing and looking after baby/pēpē.

Yet many feel ill-equipped to discuss mental-emotional well-being, or how to ‘go there’ when maternal /paternal distress is apparent. Many also do not know how to access maternal mental health support or make appropriate, timely or effective referals.

Welcome to Mindcare’s Perinatal Well-Being full day seminar which aims to ease this burden and grow confidence with simple, effective and practical strategies.

Topics covered in this seminar:

Assessment- holistic mental well-being assessment- including red flags and assessment tools such as EPDS and PASS
Barriers and BUT’s- what helps and hinders practitioner ability to 'go there'
Confidence to Try- practice sessions to help open up the conversation, and practice time to use the assessment tools
How To’s- regarding the big three: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma- including timely and culturally safe interventions
Risk Management- pre-existing conditions and risk of harm- including suicide risk
Timely Referral- how to make whānau based referrals and key information which helps your client get seen
Community Supports: what agencies and supports are out there?
