Feeling very energized and inspired after a full morning with educators and parents learning and promoting the social-emotional health of young children (babies too!)
Thank you Cape Cod Children's Place for including me and bringing Jeanine Fitzgerald as the keynote speaker. Lovely to finally meet Andrea who offers nature walks with moms and babies.

The topic of maternal mental health came up this week a couple of times, so I am sharing Postpartum Support International link to information, support groups and links to Cape Cod providers trained in perinatal mental health.

We are here to help. Connect with a PSI Coordinator in your area, contact our Helpline, Chat with an Expert or connect with us on social media.

Today was a great day! First, Moms group - watching moms support each other, share information and encouragement. Then a really positive meeting with a local business to brainstorm ways to provide pregnant and early postpartum moms a gathering space to ask lactation and infant development questions while receiving reassurance. Then, a doula visit included coaching and guiding a new mom to successfully breastfeed. Finally, a facetime introduction to a new mom who is seeking my doula support. BAM! Love this work.
