Maternal mental health is unique. Women who become moms go though a life-changing experience, enduring some of their highest-highs and lowest-lows.
You are more than just a mom. You’re a woman with unique needs that deserve to be met. That is why maternal mental health is so important for brand new moms. Becoming a mom doesn’t mean you have to abandon your needs in the process!

It is vital to learn healthy and productive ways to take care of yourself, and build your self-awareness to learn about your own strengths and weaknesses to allow you to thrive in your new role as a mom!
