S1 Ep. 4 Perinatal Mental Health with Tasha Page

In this episode, we delve into the critical but often overlooked topic of perinatal mental health, discussing the challenges faced by both parents during the perinatal period. We'll explore perinatal mood disorders, such as postpartum depression and anxiety, and how they impact not only mothers but fathers and partners as well.

Our special guest, Tasha Page, a registered social worker specializing in perinatal mental health, gives us an inside look at what a typical counseling session looks like with her. She shares her approach to providing compassionate, personalized care and guiding parents through their emotional struggles during infertility, pregnancy and postpartum.

Tasha also talks about her fertility support group, which provides a safe, supportive space for individuals and couples navigating the often difficult and emotionally taxing journey of infertility.

Whether you're a parent, parent-to-be, or someone facing fertility challenges, this episode offers valuable insights and resources for mental health and emotional well-being during the perinatal period.

Tune in to learn more about how you can prioritize mental health during one of life’s most transformative experiences.
