About the Series
Supporting Mothers to Improve Family Outcomes
Mothers today are navigating increasing psychological, social and cultural pressures that influence confidence, decision-making, engagement with health professionals, and capacity to implement intervention strategies.
Drawing on contemporary psychological research, clinical practice, and Georgia Constantinou’s Master’s research, this series explores how supporting mothers can strengthen therapeutic alliances, improve parent engagement and ultimately enhance outcomes for children and families.
Rather than focusing solely on the child, participants will develop a broader clinical lens — one that recognises maternal wellbeing as an important contributor to successful intervention.
