Space For Perinatal Wellbeing

The perinatal program has been designed to relieve subthreshold symptoms of worry and low mood in the perinatal period, as well as helping with sleep difficulties. It enables the client to identify if further support is required for an anxiety disorder or clinical depression. The program aims to improve perinatal wellbeing by: 

• Helping the client to understand the role of emotions and their impact during the perinatal period  
• Normalising emotional change during the perinatal period  
• Focusing on developing a good sleep cycle and healthy sleep habits for the client and their child  
• Using Progressive Muscle Relaxation to reduce tension and worry and aid sleep  
• Giving the client useful strategies to prevent or manage symptoms of low mood using Behavioural Activation (BA) 
• Helping the client to manage their worry and anxiety by teaching them how to differentiate between practical and hypothetical worries, and which techniques to use to deal with each one.  
• The programme is accessible 24/7, allowing users to access the programme at a time that suits them and in the comfort of their own home.
