Ep. 10 - Supporting the Mental Health of Your Lactation Clients The Mindful Breastfeeding Podcast

Many of us working in Breastfeeding Support will not be specifically trained in mental health support, but we are likely to come across mental health issues during the course of our work so it's important to have an idea how to support the clients that are experiencing mental health issues.

How can we do that? Well of course in the first instance we should be mindful of circumstances which need further referral or escalation but how can we support alongside or in the interim to getting further support to make a difference in how they are feeling? I talk a little bit about reframing mental health as wellbeing as a way of approaching mental health with our clients, nurturing them using Mindful Breastfeeding tools and wellbeing practices as well as sharing valuable information and education with them about the autonomic nervous system and coping techniques to encourage them to spend more time in 'rest and digest'. 

If you are interested in learning Mindful Breastfeeding techniques and think you and your clients would benefit, I would love to have you on our course.
