A medical researcher is interested in studying the possible relationship
Casey is a new mother to a 3-month-old. She is living in a small Australian semi-rural town on a large property, which was always a dream of hers to start a family. Casey and her husband enjoy the small town they have just moved to and to start their family. Casey and her husband both enjoy hiking around the area and staying active by maintaining their new property. Casey is finding it particularly difficult to meet new friends in the town since she is spending most of her time alone at home with the baby. Her husband, however, has made quite a few new friends at his new job in town. For the last month, Casey has started to feel extremely isolated from her old life in the city, where she loved her career of teaching, a career she always knew she was made for since she was a girl. Casey left her teaching job in the city as she thought this was the right choice for her family, but she is becoming increasingly anxious that she has made the wrong decision. This anxiety, along with the demands of her newborn, has disrupted her sleep for the last month. Casey has recently joined a mother’s group where she meets a friend who had a very similar postpartum experience to Casey’s. Casey’s friend shares that she sought support from a local mental health organisation that had peer support workers who were also mothers, some who suffered postpartum depression or trauma. The services offered at the organisation were developed and partially facilitated by mothers with lived experience. Imagine you are a healthcare professional that comes into contact with Casey. Casey shares with you her anxieties about her current situation. As she opens up to you, she discloses that: • She has always had a difficult relationship with her mother growing up who was often emotionally and physically absent, leaving her and her siblings on their own often at a young age. • Her father was often abusive and struggled with alcohol addiction, so she left home when she was young to find a more secure living situation. • Casey feels like she is failing as a new mother, she doesn’t feel adequate for the role of being a mother and she admits that she is holding quite a bit of anger towards her husband who seems to be handling this adjustment much easier than she is. • She tells you that she’s hardly had the motivation to leave the house or go hiking, and she’s forgotten what it felt like to have purpose other than being a mother and she doesn’t think she’ll ever have the confidence to get back into the workforce. • She mentions that her anxiety is becoming overwhelming, and she doesn’t remember the last night she went to sleep without worry Write a 1000-word essay that addresses the following: • Discuss factors that may be negatively affecting and/or promoting the mental well-being of Casey. These may include early childhood experiences as well as psychological, social, spiritual or biological factors. • How you would engage with Casey in order to best enact trauma-informed practice. • Where and/or to whom in the health and social care system you would refer Casey in order for her to receive additional support. • Discuss the role lived experience plays in the treatment and support of those suffering from mental health issues. • Based on what you have learned about the lived experience in healthcare and service development, discuss what potential benefits Casey might receive from attending an organisation with peer support workers and program facilitators that are also mothers. • A minimum of five references must be used to support your claims AP7 style referencing, including in-text citation The following readings may be used for the completion of this assignment: Ehrlich, C., Slattery, M., Vilic, G., Chester, P., & Crompton, D.
