    Postnatal Wellbeing

    Have you recently had a baby and are feeling low in your mood or unable to get on top of your worry? You may be experiencing something called postnatal anxiety or depression. About 1 in 7 wāhine experience anxiety and low mood in the first year after giving birth. It’s far more common than you might think and both low mood and anxiety often occur together. Fortunately, postnatal anxiety and depression is very treatable, and many mums who seek help can get better.

    This course was extremely helpful in working through my post-partum anxiety, so much so that I have completely changed my thought process and has made my experience a lot easier. The CBT is life changing and I use it multiple times a day!

    Loved the course. I found all important info, tools and contacts if I needed it. I like that I could do it anonymously and in my own pace, and I also appreciate that it was available for free.
