This study examines the relationship between self-compassion and wellbeing in new mothers and whether an online self-help course for new mothers can help to improve their wellbeing and self-compassion.
This study is a randomised controlled trial (RCT) comparing an online self-help course ('Kindness for Mums') with a wait-list control. A battery of self-report measures will be administered online at baseline (week 0), post-intervention (week 6) and at follow-up (week 12). Baseline data will also be used to examine the relationship between self-compassion and wellbeing.
