Workshop description:
Pregnancy and the transition to parenthood involves many psychological and social changes.
It is a time in which anxiety, depression and other mental health issues may be heightened
and some of these may only become apparent at this time. Miscarriage, termination and
various medical issues can also lead to psychological problems for either or both parents.
This presentation will look at common psychological issues in pregnancy and their
treatment. Tony will also examine grief in relation to miscarriage, stillbirth and infertility,
and how we can deal with this more effectively with our clients. He will present case study
scenarios and participants can expect interactive group work with a solution focussed
approach.
