💛 Big news 💛 We’re so excited to share that the Murdoch University Psychology Clinic will be running its very first Mother-Baby Nurture group starting 13th October!
Mother-Baby Nurture is a gentle, reflective space for mums and their babies in the early months. It’s all about slowing down, connecting with your little one, and finding support alongside other mums who get it. 🌿👶
Thanks to Dr Lisa Saville Young & Dr Kelli MacMillan for their leadership and the Rotary Club of Karrinyup for their start-up grant support👏 Murdoch Clinic now joins Allambee, ERICA Women's Centre, Ngala, Meerilinga Children and Community Services, Radiance Network South West and WA Country Health Service Albany in offering this much-needed perinatal support program.
If you know a new mum who might need this, please share 💛
