| My Time My Space supports women with short term postnatal depression to overcome their illness and feel more at ease with their condition by meeting others in a similar situation whilst raising self esteem and confidence through the teaching of new skills. My Time My Space offers arts activity to women experiencing post-natal depression in an innovative partnership with the Health Visitors and Health Promotion. |
 |
The MTMS projects enables mothers to:-
- Have time away from their children (in a crèche with qualified care workers)
- Have a supportive environment with fellow sufferers
- Have a Health Visitor on hand to discuss issues and problems as they arise
- Encourage them to express themselves creatively, building confidence and a sense of achievement through the process
- track and follow-up care of their depression via their Health Visitor using the Edinburgh Post Natal Depression Scale (EPDS) before and after the course
nesa has made a DVD film about MTMS participants and their progression documenting challenges women have faced, successes they have realised and the benefits of arts and health support through MTMS. |
| You can view the MTMS video online or to obtain a copy of the DVD please contact nesa at info@nesacreativechange.org.uk. |
