New mothers are often unprepared for the emotional impact of having a baby. Feelings of isolation and anxiety which often emerge in the early months can trigger postnatal depression. Health professionals can support women with therapeutic groupwork to help them overcome these feelings and adjust to the many changes which inevitably occur at this time.
This book describes setting up and managing a discussion group for new mothers to provide support and introduce women to others at the same life stage in a safe environment. It shows how facilitating this structured activity can be positive and empowering for all concerned. It is practical and stimulating reading for everyone involved professionally with postnatal women.
