#FOZA4PPDAwareness - Welcome FOZA Fans and thank you for joining in on a NEW FOZA PODCAST. www.FOZAInc.org/podcasts

This is Episode 36, titled Emotional Support – The Benefits for Maternal Mental Wellness

This episode is dedicated to National Maternal Suicide Awareness Week, Sept 9 through 13, and for the entire month of September and Suicide Awareness and Prevention.

I invite you to add to what you hear, discuss what you hear, and share what you believe is beneficial. Awareness is one of our core missions, and we know there are many aspects involved, so even if you know every point that's being made in the podcast, please keep sharing. Perhaps you will touch someone who may not be as well-informed as you are.

Highlights:

  • Why she may not ask for or accept help
  • She may feel as if she is burdening others
  • She may want to prove her independence
  • She may feel embarrassed or ashamed
  • She may have had past negative experiences
  • She may even be unsure of exactly what help she needs or where to look and she want to avoid appearing to be ignorant about a topic we’ve been programmed to believe is “natural”
  • She may feel she should know instinctively how to care for her baby, and she feels “less-than,” which can exacerbate her feelings of being overwhelmed.

The ACTIONS you can take to help build her trust
