Strengths-based approach to maternal mental health

I chat with Newborn Mothers educator Amanda Stinton from Our Fourth Trimester, who teaches the module on mental health in our Postpartum Education and Care Professional training. Together we discuss how we can take a strengths-based approach to support postpartum mothers and caregivers facing challenges. At the core of this conversation, we explore how to shift from a deficit-based approach to one that is respectful of people’s stories, honours their strengths and focuses on long-term solutions that build their capacity and trust in themselves.
