🌳 Family Impact
How women's mental health shapes the whole family
When a mother is struggling, her partner, children and extended family feel it too, and what they bring back to her matters. Our family-impact trainings help you work systemically: with partners, with parenting, and with the patterns that pass from one generation to the next.
“Women's mental health does not exist in isolation.”
Clinical focus areas
- Partner relationships
- Parenting dynamics
- Impact on children
- Intergenerational patterns
What you’ll learn
Skills you can use with your next family
- Screen and support partners, including fathers with perinatal depression
- Strengthen the couple relationship through pregnancy, postpartum and midlife
- Understand how maternal depression and anxiety affect child development, and what protects children
- Work with intergenerational trauma and family-of-origin patterns
- Include family in treatment planning without losing the client's voice
Why it matters
Research published in JAMA has found that around 1 in 10 fathers experience depression during the perinatal period. Treating one person in isolation misses part of the picture.
