Beyond Exhausted: Understanding and Treating Parental Burnout

With Rebecca Reddin, Perinatal Psychologist, PMH-C

Monday March 23rd - 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM Irish Time - Takes Place Via Zoom and hosted by The Perinatal Mental Health Institute Includes Certificate of Attendance, Access to Recorded Version and All Resources Mentioned in the Training - €20

How many of your clients are quietly running on empty — not just tired, but completely hollowed out by parenthood? Parental burnout is far more prevalent than most clinicians realise, yet it remains one of the most commonly missed conditions in perinatal mental health — frequently misidentified, minimised, or simply unnamed.

This 90-minute training will help you to recognise, assess, and treat parental burnout in your practice and better support the parents you serve. You'll gain the knowledge, tools, and confidence to identify this distinct condition, distinguish it from depression and other mental health presentations, and offer interventions that genuinely restore parental wellbeing and family connection.

Whether you work with individuals, couples, or families, this training equips you to recognise parental burnout when it walks through your door, understand how it presents differently across genders, and support parents on the path to recovery.

What You'll Learn:

  • Definitions and the three core dimensions of parental burnout
  • Root causes including sociocultural pressures and resource imbalance
  • Gender-specific presentations and risk factors for mums and dads
  • Validated assessment tools and screening strategies
  • Evidence-based interventions and therapeutic approaches
  • Systemic and preventive strategies to support long-term recovery
  • How to distinguish parental burnout from depression and other conditions
