Join the Group Facilitators Network

Join a network for group facilitators from across Australia involved in broad range of groups for new parents experiencing or at risk of perinatal anxiety and depression.

The objectives of the network are:

• To promote partnerships between peer workers and health professionals and raise awareness about the value of the consumer perspective in the development and implementation of groups
• To provide a forum for facilitators to support each other and share best practice
• To use the collective experience of the network to encourage the sustainability of existing groups and promote the establishment of new groups
• To link members to professional development opportunities

Once your register as a member of PANDA’s Group Facilitators you will receive invitations to upcoming network meetings and zoom link.
