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.
Topics covered in this seminar:
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.

- 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
