ROLES, ROUTINES & IDENTITY - OCCUPATIONAL FOCUS FOR PEER SUPPORT
Limited number of 2 for 1 tickets now available
Welcome to the next in our series of lunch time seminars from Lifeboat Perinatal Mental Health CIC. As someone who supports parents during the perinatal period you will be familiar with the huge changes parents experience during pregnancy, birth and beyond. Those activities which are truly meaningful to parents are often lost among the demands of every-day life. It is common for parents to feel they have lost their identity and creating helpful routines can feel daunting. This in turn can lead to feelings of anxiety and depression. Using an occupational focus can help tackle these issues by enabling people to balance their meaningful activities to support their physical and mental wellbeing. This lunchtime seminar is not designed to turn you into an occupational therapist but we do examine occupation and the lessons that can be drawn from holding an occupational frame of mind when supporting parents.

Lunchtime seminar series
Lifeboat offers a series of lunchtime seminars which are ideal for peer support workers and other practitioners supporting parents with their mental health during pregnancy, birth and beyond. Follow us for more information on future seminars.
We will be running these short seminars once a month and have a variety of topics lined up. However, if you have a particular topic you would like to discuss around perinatal mental health then we would love to hear from you. Just contact us on info@lifeboatpmh.com.
Designed by parents, peer supporters and clinicians, each thought-provoking seminar offers a chance to explore a particular topic and share thoughts and ideas. Topics are evidence based and have been tried and tested over many years, so you can confidently put knowledge into practice.
Please note that places are limited as we prefer to run small groups so that there is time to share your thoughts, questions and experiences.
