Host: Laurie Groh, MS LPC SAS
Understanding and Supporting Moms' Mental Health
The discussion with Laurie Groh MS LPC SAS and Casey White centers around the Moms Mental Health Initiative started in 2016 by two moms who faced their own struggles in the perinatal mental health journey.
The initiative aims to assist mothers in navigating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders through peer support and resource brokering, bridging the gap to evidence-based treatment. The discussion also emphasizes the importance of addressing intrusive thoughts, the significance of peer support among mothers, and the negative impact of societal pressures on mothers. Breaking down barriers to mental health and navigating the complexities of postpartum treatment and support are crucial aspects of the initiative.
