Stage 2
Prenatal and Postnatal workshops on maternal mental health and baby budgeting
Participants along with their spouses, partners or caregivers will be invited to attend a prenatal and a postnatal workshop on mental wellness and baby budgeting. The workshops will end with a grocery shopping session at a nearby supermarket.
The mental wellness workshop will help mothers better understand their own thoughts and feelings toward the changes ahead in welcoming a new family member, empower them with skills and wellness practices to manage the overwhelming feelings. Spouses and partners who attend will also learn how they can better support mummy this period.
The baby budgeting component of the workshop will help parents know more about existing financial support from the government, and how they can make wiser decisions about budgeting for baby, family and daily essentials.
*Participants should attend one session before giving birth and one session after giving birth. The content will be slightly different between the pre and postnatal workshops.
*DBS Foundation and KidSTART Singapore will be carrying out surveys at the end of the postnatal workshops to help us better understand if the support you’ve received throughout the initiative is helpful and useful. This will also allow us insight into how to adjust the programme to better suit your needs.
