Picture this: You're expecting a baby and live in a rural area where healthcare options are limited. How do you get the support you need for your mental health?

The experts emphasize the importance of normalizing varied experiences and reducing the stigma that often surrounds perinatal mental health. They also highlight the need for comprehensive screening for substance use and behavioral health disorders during pregnancy.

They share real-life examples and strategies that can make a difference, such as providing transportation options to ensure that everyone gets the care they need. By the end of the episode, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the importance of compassion and non-judgmental care during the perinatal period.
