#45: Dr. Wendy Davis: Postpartum Support International

On this episode, I welcome seasoned mom of two, psychologist, and executive director of Postpartum Support International, Dr. Wendy Davis. I had the good fortune of meeting Wendy years ago when I was first starting to specialize in the pregnancy and postpartum mental health field. Since our first meeting, she has been inspirational in my work with moms and families and when you hear her next, you’ll hear why. Listen in as Wendy shares her experience with depression and anxiety in the postpartum period after the birth of her oldest child, the value she places on proactive coping and emotional health support planning ahead of having a baby, and how her personal experience has informed her now decades long dedication to supporting and now leading the preeminent perinatal organziation, PSI. You’ll also hear her share some of PSI’s amazing resources, all of which can be found at postpartum.net and include: PSI's Helpline: 1.800.944.4743. You can text in English and Spanish and National Maternal Mental Health Hotline: 1.833.TLC.MAMA (852.6262). And finally, before we get started, let me share Postpartum Support International’s motto – one that offers a non-judgmental message of hope to anyone who might be struggling. You are not alone. You are not to blame. And with help, you will be well. All of that and more, next. www.motherhoodfeels.com www.postpartum.net DISCLAIMER: Information on Hindsight is 20/20 is intended for general education and informational purposes only.
