About

Matrescence-Informed Care: Bridging Interdisciplinary Models to Provide Women-Centred Care and Improve Health Outcomes

Following the incredible feedback from our conference presentation earlier this year, we're excited to offer this workshop as a live online learning opportunity for health professionals working with women during pregnancy, postpartum and early motherhood.

Join us for a 90-minute interactive workshop designed to deepen your understanding of matrescence - the profound developmental transition into motherhood - and explore how adopting a matrescence-informed lens can transform the way we support women across all areas of healthcare.

This workshop is ideal for psychologists, GPs, physiotherapists, midwives, nurses, occupational therapists, social workers, doulas, lactation consultants and other professionals passionate about providing holistic, women-centred care.

Together, we will:

* Gain a deeper understanding of matrescence and the psychological, emotional, relational and identity changes that occur as women transition into motherhood.
* Explore the Maternal Wellbeing Continuum, a practical framework for understanding the wide range of maternal experiences beyond diagnostic labels.
* Consider how we can move beyond treating presenting symptoms to understanding the whole person within the context of her motherhood journey.
* Discuss practical, evidence-informed strategies for integrating a matrescence-informed approach into everyday clinical practice.
* Connect with like-minded women's health professionals who share a commitment to collaborative, compassionate care.

Whether you are new to the concept of matrescence or already incorporating it into your work, this workshop will leave you with practical tools, fresh perspectives, and greater confidence in supporting women through one of life's most significant developmental transitions.

We look forward to learning, reflecting and connecting with you.
