Wellbeing and Mental Health

As a parent it is important to take care of your mental wellbeing and physical health as this has benefits for yourself and your children. When you are not feeling your best it’s difficult to be the parent and partner you want to be.

Adjusting to Parenthood

Becoming a parent is exciting yet challenging. Transition gradually, allowing space to grow and learn. Be kind to yourself in this journey.

Perinatal Mental Health

Are you, or someone you know, feeling overwhelmed, worried or sad either during pregnancy or soon after the birth of a baby? If so, this could be Perinatal Mood Disorder (PMD). PMD is very common – one in five women and one in ten men experience it as new parents. However help is at hand because Karitane has a great wealth of experience helping families in this situation.
