Psychological Support

Mental health is an extremely important factor during the postnatal period and up to the first year after your baby is born. Hormonal changes and significant changes to your sleep pattern as well as the usual worries about feeding and infant care can make this a very trying time. In our psychological support sessions we give you the opportunity to understand, accept and improve your mental health through one to one or group sessions. Hera Family Care is here to help you!
