Public Health Solutions to Protect New Mothers: Understanding Postpartum Depression and Environmental Risk Factors
Webinar – Tuesday, May 7, 2024
Postpartum depression (PPD) affects up to 1 in 5 mothers globally, with serious consequence for both the health of mothers and their children. Given its prevalence, PPD is a critical public health issue.
How does our environment—from the air we breathe to the daily stressors in our lives predispose an individual to PPD? Additionally, what are the protective factors in our environment that may mitigate risk? In this webinar, Dr. Rosalind Wright explores public health solutions for better health outcomes for mothers and their children. 30 min presentation followed by moderated Q&A
