Learn about postpartum depression, grief, and trauma, and gain practical, culturally sensitive tools for healing.
This online workshop/event is designed to help parents, especially new mothers and caregivers, learn about the emotional and mental health challenges that can occur after childbirth. While many people expect joy after a new baby arrives, it’s also common to experience mood changes, anxiety, or feelings that go beyond what’s often called the “baby blues.”
What you’ll learn:
Signs and symptoms to watch for: Including persistent sadness, anxiety, mood swings, and challenges adjusting to new parenthood.
Why postpartum mental health matters: Mental health issues after childbirth are common and can affect parents of all genders, not just mothers, and have lasting effects on family well-being if unaddressed.
Strategies for support: How and when to reach out for help, what supports are available, and ways partners and caregivers can offer meaningful support.
Who should attend:
Expecting parents, new parents (especially in the first year postpartum), partners, caregivers, and professionals who want a deeper understanding of postpartum mental health.
Every night, thousands of women and children in Canada face homelessness, poverty, and trauma. We are on a mission to change that.
While Sakeenah functions at a national level, our head office and The People’s Market operate out of land that is part of the Treaty and Traditional Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, The Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Huron-Wendat and Wyandot Nations.
Sakeenah believes that while a land acknowledgement is the first step, we also understand that land acknowledgements alone are not sufficient to redress the harm caused by centuries of land theft, forced displacement and ongoing acts of settler colonialism. We recognize that this work is ongoing and complex, and we are dedicated to doing our part to create a better future for all.
