Each May, Maternal Mental Health Month shines a light on the emotional wellbeing of mums during pregnancy and in the early years of parenthood. It’s a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and, crucially, offer support to those navigating one of life’s most challenging and transformative journeys.
At Access Courses Online, we know that behind every mother is a story. A story of strength, resilience, and often, of silent struggles. For many women, the perinatal period can be as emotionally demanding as it is joyful. Balancing the needs of a growing family while trying to hold on to a sense of self can leave little room for personal development or career progression. Two things that are often deeply tied to mental health and long-term wellbeing.
That’s why we’re proud to support Maternal Mental Health Month, and why we believe access to flexible, supportive education is so important.
Finding Yourself Again
For many women, becoming a mother means putting their own ambitions on pause. But we’ve seen firsthand how education can play a huge part in helping women reconnect with their identity and future goals.
Studying online offers an empowering way to invest in yourself, without compromising your role as a parent. Whether it’s the dream of becoming a midwife, working in mental health, or entering the world of nursing, we offer online Access to HE Diplomas that are flexible, affordable, and fully supported.
Our students can learn in the evenings, while the baby naps, or during moments of calm. There's no need to attend a classroom or stick to a rigid schedule; everything is designed to work around your life.
