Why to attend?

Attending mental health classes can be extremely beneficial for pregnant or newly delivered mothers. These classes can help women to navigate the emotional and psychological challenges that often come with pregnancy, childbirth, and caring for a newborn. Here are some reasons why a pregnant or newly delivered mother should attend mental health classes:

Importance of Self-care: One of the most important reasons for attending mental health classes is to learn about self-care. Pregnancy and caring for a newborn can be exhausting, and it’s important for mothers to take care of themselves physically and mentally. Mental health classes can teach women about the importance of self-care, including strategies for managing stress, getting enough sleep, eating well, and finding time for relaxation and self-care activities.

Regulating Emotions: Pregnancy and childbirth can be a rollercoaster of emotions, and it’s common for women to experience mood swings, anxiety, and depression. Mental health classes can provide strategies for regulating emotions and coping with the ups and downs of pregnancy and postpartum. This can help mothers to feel more grounded and confident in their ability to handle the challenges of motherhood.

Bonding with Baby: Mental health classes can also provide guidance on how to bond with a new baby. Many mothers struggle with feelings of disconnection or anxiety around their ability to connect with their baby. Mental health classes can offer tips on how to promote bonding through skin-to-skin contact, eye contact, and other nurturing activities.

Relationship Partner: Pregnancy and postpartum can put a strain on relationships, and it’s important for mothers to have support from their partner. Mental health classes can offer direction on how to communicate effectively with a partner and how to work together as a team to care for a new baby.

Family Support: In addition to partner support, mental health classes can also provide guidance on how to engage with family members who may be helping with the care of the baby. This can help mothers to build a support system and ensure that everyone is on the same page when it comes to caring for the baby.

Attending mental health classes can be incredibly helpful for women who are expecting or have just given birth.

These classes can provide guidance on self-care, regulating emotions, bonding with the baby, and building supportive relationships with partners and family members.

Testimonials Breastfeeding Class

"The assistance provided at the hospital was uneven as certain nurses were helpful while others were impolite. I received inadequate information and guidance about breastfeeding, which was rushed. I participated in your breastfeeding class during the third week and believed it would have been more beneficial to attend during pregnancy. I am sharing my experience to ensure that no one has to face difficulties solely due to a lack of information."

"Hello ma'am, I really appreciated your class on how husbands can support their wives. It's important to empower husbands to provide the necessary support and rest that a newly-delivered mother needs. Your class was thoroughly enjoyable and I loved how you presented the information in an interesting and amusing way. Thank you for a great session!"

“Initially, my mother advised me to feed cow's milk to my baby from the beginning. However, I received conflicting advice from others, which made it difficult for me to continue breastfeeding. To overcome this, I convinced my mother to attend your class, where she learned and started supporting me. Your detailed explanations and valuable information have been very helpful to our family, thank you.”

“Upon hearing from my mother that she had ample milk supply, I assumed that breastfeeding would be problem-free, as I believed low milk supply was the only issue that could arise. However, after my daughter was born, I faced difficulties with latching and other problems from the very beginning. It was only then that I realized I should have prepared better by attending a breastfeeding class. I reached out to you for guidance and enrolled in your class, which turned out to be very beneficial. I am grateful for your help and guidance during the most challenging period of my life.”

"The maternal mental health class was a game changer for me. I struggled with guilt and shame about my feelings after having a baby, but this class helped me to understand that I am not alone and that seeking help is a sign of strength. I learned coping skills and strategies for managing stress, and I feel like a better mom and partner as a result."

"The maternal mental health class was an incredible resource for me during a difficult time in my life.  She was great, and I felt validated and understood by the other moms in the group. I learned coping skills that I still use today, and I am so grateful for the positive impact this class had on my mental health and overall well-being."

"As a first-time parent, I was a bit nervous about how to take care of my newborn. But the infant care class was exactly what I needed to put my mind at ease. Kani mam was incredibly patient and understanding, and took the time to answer all of our questions. I now feel much more prepared to handle the challenges that come with being a new parent."

"I recently took the Infant Care class, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've made as a new parent. She was kind and patient, and she provided us with valuable information and practical tips for caring for our newborn. The class was also a great opportunity to connect with other new parents and share experiences. I highly recommend this class to any new parents looking to gain confidence in their ability to care for their baby."
