This prenatal mental health workshop is designed to support expecting parents in understanding the emotional, psychological, and physiological changes that can occur during pregnancy. The focus is on increasing awareness, reducing stress, and strengthening emotional wellbeing during the prenatal period.

Presented by Rebekah Churchill, Registered Social Worker, and Christy Woof, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), this session offers a supportive space to explore mental health in pregnancy. Participants will learn practical strategies to manage anxiety and build emotional resilience while preparing for the transition into parenthood.

Pregnancy is a period of significant change, and it is common for expecting parents to experience worry, mood shifts, or uncertainty along the way. Research consistently links supported prenatal mental health with healthier outcomes for both parent and baby, which is why early awareness and preparation matter. This prenatal mental health workshop offers a starting point: a space to ask questions, learn evidence-informed strategies, and connect with professionals who understand the perinatal journey. Organizations such as Postpartum Support International also offer helpful resources for families preparing for a new arrival.
