15.01.2022 My my, we are getting so very excited for the South West Perinatal and Infant Mental Health Symposium in February next year. So many incredible speakers have offered to join us - whether in person or on Zoom - and we are very proud to announce that Dr. Oscar Serrallach from The Depletion Cure will be joining us too! There are an increasing number of mothers who have children later in life. They’re more likely to experience a high rate of physical consequences such as lethar...gy, memory disturbances and poor energy levels. This is a condition author Dr. Oscar Serrallach has coined Postnatal Depletion. Recovery from Postnatal Depletion depends upon holistically addressing and attending to a mother’s biology, psychology and life-purpose. Dr Serrallach’s groundbreaking book for women outlines a program that has been developed based on his observations and support to dozens of women with Postnatal Depletion. Early Bird tickets are now on sale for $100 (until 31/12/2020) and include morning tea, lunch, a sundowner welcome drink and grazing table.

01.01.2022 Radiance South West is very aware of the pressures on dads and the limited time they have on their hands. We are so proud that the SMS4Dads program was created right here in Australia - please help us share the word! It’s a simple idea. Dads are really busy before and after the birth there is no way they’ll come to lots of parenting classes but they do have mobile phones. SMS4dads provides new fathers with information and connections to online services through their mobile... phones. The text messages with tips, information and links to other services help fathers understand and connect with their baby and support their partner.
