Feeling down as a single parent? There is help out there.

from Beanstalk: Real Talk for Single Mums Hosted by Elle Sitek

Lifeline’s Executive Director, Rachel Bowes chats with me about how it’s normal to feel down at some point on your single mother journey. Whether it’s whilst navigating the initial break-up or once you have adjusted, no one would blame you for feeling low, lonely, overwhelmed or possibly even depressed. This chat includes, but is not limited to what you can do to prevent and deal with loneliness: how to ease the pressure of overwhelm as a single parent; catastrophising: why you do it and how to stop it; the red flags of depression and how to take proactive action against it; the positive and negative impact of social media on mental health; how to know when to ask for help, where to ask for help and other wonderful resources.
