Amirah
Playgroup AssistantAmirah brings experience in psychiatric nursing to her Playgroup Tasmania role, giving her a strong understanding of mental health, emotional wellbeing and supportive communication.
She uses this knowledge to build trusting relationships, listen with empathy and recognise the emotional and developmental needs of both parents and children.
Amirah had her own positive experience with playgroups when she and her young family first moved to Tasmania. Going to playgroups gave her somewhere safe and welcoming to take her children while also providing connection, support and a sense of community when she really needed it.
"I think having an organised parent group for those with a new baby is really important especially for those parents who don’t have established social groups or a social group with children of the same age."
