News
We are grateful for the continued opportunities within the perinatal space, and for our work with organisations including COPE, Perinatal Training Centre, Tresillian, NSW Health Mother & Baby Units and PIMHs teams, Birth Trauma Australia, Through the Unexpected, and Mum for Mum.
This year, we look forward to offering further support for perinatal clinicians and our broader community. Justine has commenced Group Supervision with Through the Unexpected, and Lettitia and Chris have begun their Reflective Group Supervisor series. For details, please reach out to us at hello@perinatalpeople.com.
In the coming months, we will be presenting two new seminars: the first exploring work with partners during the perinatal period, and the second focused on birth-related trauma. We look forward to sharing more soon.
