The Boodjari Moort Maternal and Child Health Service team marked Perinatal Mental Health Week in November with a Wellness Morning Tea focused on pregnant yorgas (women) and young families.
A gathering at the Eaton foreshore was filled with yarns and mindful activities like weaving, sound meditation, and painting. Kaadadjan, or knowledge, about how early parenthood can impact mental health was also shared.
The journey into parenthood can be challenging, and no one should feel alone. About one in five new mums and one in ten new dads experience perinatal anxiety or depression.
