In fact, employers and mentors have an exciting opportunity before them: to provide individualized mentorship to new parents as they return to work, in ways that ease stress and boost feelings of positivity and excitement. In this presentation, attendees will learn strategies for creating a customized mentoring program for new parents, so they feel valued and able to achieve success when they return to the workplace. The presenters will share communication strategies for deepening existing work relationships while new parents are on maternity leave and for making them feel cared for when they come back. Attendees will learn how to incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles in ways that help new parents manage their worry and anxiety about returning to work, helping new moms develop psychological flexibility and set value-driven goals for personal and professional development. These strategies are designed to help new parents experience a smooth, positive return to work and work toward achieving a work-life balance that's healthy for their individual family's needs.
