This past weekend, I presented on mental health at the inaugural AWOGI2020 Conference. I shared with the audience that I am experiencing postpartum depression. It surprised some because I “look ok”.
Postpartum depression does not have a particular “look”. Check on new moms, and not so new moms because you never know how they are feeling or if a small kind gesture such a a break is needed.
Challenge: Call or text a mom with an infant or toddler just to “check in”.
