Epi - 23 - When is the RIGHT TIME to ASK for Help?

This month’s episode centers around timing. FOZA is some guidelines specifically geared towards three groups in our audience
1.) Moms and pregnant people who may not be aware of some of the signs of PPD 2.) those who may be aware…but feel as if they can “Handle the Symptoms” on their own, and3.) Caregivers and family members for reinforcement, encouragement, and support when extra attention is needed.    Everyone is unique, so this information is intended to bring awareness, provoke thought, offer comfort and reassurance, and to communicate some resources for seeking assistance.

Epi-19-FOZA-Podcast-Why-Moms-Dont-Speak-Up

#foza4ppdawareness -
Watch/Listen on YouTube: https://youtu.be/ZcPkQWLKMfE
We get a lot of questions and comments about WHY Moms don't speak up, when they are feeling down. "Speak up, when you feel down" is an international shout out from PSI (Postpartum Support International) and many other groups and individuals advocating for awareness of postpartum depression and maternal mental wellness and yet many moms simply suffer in silence. And so we went on a deep dive to bring you answers to just a few of the primary reasons why many moms do not speak up as well as they should. Our thanks to Vanessa Rapisarda, founder and Editor of RunningInTriangles.com for her article that inspired this podcast. Please connect with Vanessa for a boat load of very valuable information focused on motherhood, maternal wellness, and awareness of PPD.
