Did you know...the provider most often in a position to recognize a new parent needs support is actually not their PCP?
It is essential that every provider who encounters new parents knows how to screen and refer parents for mental health support. Check out my free webinar and I will show you how to do this in any setting.
A contributing factor to maternal mood and anxiety symptoms throughout pregnancy and postpartum is the mom's perceived support.
As healthcare providers working under the constraints of our system, it is difficult to provide the level of support a client needs in the typical office encounter-even if the client is receiving regular psychotherapy.
Medical providers do not typically have the training (or time) needed to provide mental health support and patients do not have the training to understand and ask for the support they need.
It is essential that moms (and dads) receive the mental health support they need in their day-to-day lives!
Wouldn't it be nice if...
When you encounter a mom who is experiencing distress, including mood or anxiety symptoms in pregnancy or the postpartum experience, you could provide a resource to help her and her partner start building mental health knowledge and skills.
If you are working with a mom and her partner to also have services (which are not available logistically), wouldn't it be nice to have a resource for her partner that is available anytime and anywhere?
Now you can!
Wait...Who is this for?!
I'm glad you asked! This course is directed to anyone supporting a new mom (whether it is her first baby or 5th). However, you will quickly find that this is a course that works for both parents. While each lesson "speaks to" the non-birthing partner, the lessons apply to both parents and are great conversation starters for their path to connection and mental wellbeing.
A really common scenario when I work with clients is a request that I explain whatever is going on with the client's partner.
Another common scenario is "I want help but I don't want to ask for it and right now I'm too frustrated to be able to speak my needs with kindness. Honestly, I don't think I should have to. It should be apparent without my asking."
And finally, "He's trying. I can see he's trying but it doesn't matter, I'm tired and angry no matter what. I don't know how to explain what I need when I don't understand myself."
My favorite way for clients to utilize this workshop is for the supporting partner (non-birthing partner) to take the workshop on their own and take time after each lesson to share and discuss what they learned with their partner.
This workshop is for your clients and their partners!
How do I connect my clients?
The first step is normalizing accessing care and assessing your clients. If you aren't sure how to do this, check out my free webinar.
Once you know you have a client who could benefit from support. (It is safe to assume this is an universal need for new parents), connecting your clients to this amazing resource cannot be simpler.
