Understanding Mental Health During Pregnancy

Start your Journey
Course Fact Sheet

Pregnancy is often framed through physical milestones such as ultrasounds, cravings, kicks, and birth plans. But behind those observable moments lies a powerful emotional and psychological journey. One that is often overlooked.

Throughout Maternal Mind Matters, you will explore the emotional and psychological changes that occur during pregnancy, from everyday worries to moments when deeper support may be needed. You will learn how to recognise emotional cues, respond compassionately, and understand concepts like fear of birth, matrescence and postpartum risk.

To support your learning, we have developed a companion workbook, a space to reflect, take notes, deepen your understanding, and apply key concepts to your own professional practice. It is not just a summary tool, it is designed to help you connect this knowledge to the real-world experiences of the people you support. Enrol now to enhance your skills and make a positive impact on mental well-being.
