All mums who are living in New Zealand or Australia and are over the age of 18 who have given birth in the past two years have the opportunity to access helpful online information and guided activities as part of a research trial at The University of Queensland.
All participants will complete two eight week apart online surveys and have free unlimited online access to the materials for six months after the study ends, allowing researchers to pinpoint exactly what effect the materials are having on their well being.
The School of Psychology’s research fellow Dr Amy Mitchell said the project is about finding ways to help mothers take better care of themselves and help them cope with what may be a very challenging situation.
