About This Webinar:
Emerging research suggests that a significant number of new mothers are experiencing postpartum depression and associated risk/vulnerability factors, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. A recent study found that one in three new mothers screened positive for postpartum depression, and one in five had major depressive symptoms (Postpartum Depression and Associated Risk Factors During the COVID-19 Pandemic, 2022).
This webinar focuses on strategies for supporting military families facing challenges in family functioning, new parent well-being, and maternal mental health. This presentation identifies unique vulnerability factors and strengths for military partners and spouses. Join this webinar as presenters discuss developing effective communication strategies, self-care techniques, and community resources to identify challenges and support military families.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
