This past week my work has been focussed on the consulting side of and my role as Vice Chair of the Perinatal Mental Health Alliance of NL with the amazing board of directors and our Chair Dr. Vidyasankar. I got to share the project I’ve been leading here in NL with at the Alliance’s provincial perinatal mental health symposium. I also got to provide an educational presentation with a message about the power we collectively hold to shape generations thru quality perinatal care.

It is an absolute dream to be working shoulder to shoulder with these amazing people and pushing perinatal mental health care in the right direction for our province and the country.

I make it a top priority to provide best practice care and services to the families I work with. And it’s also a priority of mine to contribute to work that enhances the healthcare system so everyone can access best practice care and services in the perinatal period.

It’s been a busy, chaotic week. With the best humans.

My heart is full and hopeful.

Today is World Maternal Mental Health Day.

Globally, 1 in 5 mothers & birthing-persons are affected by perinatal mood disorders. Here in NL, this number increases to 1 in 4.

Join the conversation, raise awareness, and help us to work towards improving the health and wellness of families in our province.
