Involving partners or family members can be done through:

  • Family Sessions: Offer joint sessions with the client and their partner to discuss the impact of PND on their relationship and parenting, fostering understanding and support.
  • Education for Partners: Provide resources or workshops for partners on PND, its symptoms, and how they can support the client effectively.
  • Encouraging Communication: Help clients develop strategies for communicating their needs and feelings to their partners, promoting a collaborative approach to coping with PND.
  • Support for Partners: Recognise that partners may also experience stress or changes in their emotional health. Address their needs and encourage them to seek support if necessary.
