Family Hub courses

Let’s talk about it: Depression

Has becoming pregnant or been a new parent got you running on empty? All of us experience times when our mood dips and we lose our sparkle. However, it is ok to not be ok and sometimes it can be hard to accept. Throughout this course we will explore the differences between low moods and depression, support available, some of the challenges parenthood brings and discover ways to help manage our mood. It is always important to kind to ourselves especially during parenthood!

Let’s talk about it: Anxiety

Do you often feel you have to paint on a happy face? Feeling drained inside? We are all familiar with the feeling’s anxiety can bring about, especially during pregnancy and when becoming a new parent. Many thoughts race through our minds and this can become challenging. Throughout this course we will explore what anxiety is and at what point it can become a problem. Understand how you manage your symptoms could in fact fuel anxiety. You will discover ways in which you can self-manage your feelings and discover what support there is available. 

Living in the Moment

Finding it hard to find time for yourself after becoming a new parent? Are all your ‘to do lists’ during your pregnancy becoming overwhelming? Throughout this session we will explore the ancient practice of mindfulness. We will share some basic activities which will help to keep you grounded and enjoy the special moments pregnancy and parenthood has to offer. You will rediscover the little things we forget about which could remind us to be present in the precious moments.
