This course consists of 5 weekly sessions each lasting for 1.5 hours.
This is a virtual course designed for those who are perinatal or up to 2 years post-natal.
This course provides techniques targeted at thoughts and behaviours to help overcome low mood and anxiety in the framework of perinatal wellbeing.

This is an experiential group. Facilitators will introduce new ideas each week and then ask questions about how they can relate and be implemented, and then check in each week about how the implementation is going.
