In this episode, I chat with Brittany, a Mum of two, Harvey who is almost 2 and Phoebe who is 8months. She lives and works full-time in childcare in Western Australia and her husband is a FIFO worker. Brittany struggled with PND with Henry and PNA with Phoebe. A lot of what she talks about will resonate so much with you all, I know it did for me.
The program that Brittany speaks about is called 'Bouncing Back'. It offers postnatal depression support and treatment for women and their families. Services include postnatal screenings for depression and stress to promote early intervention; treatment and Support Groups for families; referral service; advocacy; psycho-education and referral to suitable supports; community education, talks to antenatal/ postnatal groups increasing awareness. Referral is through your GP or a Child Health Nurse, however you can also self refer. For more information, click on this link Bouncing Back Program | ConnectGroups.
I hope you enjoy this episode!
