And I'm not necessarily just talking about race or ethnicity, but I'm also talking about ability, sexual orientation. There are a couple of organizations that are really focused on this.
Picture this: a new mom, overwhelmed by the demands of motherhood, faces not only perinatal depression and anxiety but also a healthcare system that doesn't fully understand her cultural background. This episode of 'The Savvy Shrink' dives deep into these challenges as Andrea Schneider, MSW, LCSW, sits down with Dr. Katayune Kaeni, a specialist in perinatal mental health and host of the Mom & Mind Podcast. Dr.
Kat shares her own journey through postpartum depression and anxiety, revealing how these experiences ignited her passion for advocating cultural humility in maternal care. Dr. Kat highlights the critical need for healthcare providers to confront their own biases and educate themselves on the unique mental health needs of new mothers from diverse backgrounds. She emphasizes that better training and systemic changes are essential to reduce stigma and prevent further trauma for women seeking help.
By discussing her work with Postpartum Support International and San Bernardino County’s Maternal Mental Health workgroup, Dr. Kat provides valuable insights into the practical steps being taken to improve maternal mental health support. Listeners will find Dr. Kat's call to action both compelling and necessary. She urges everyone, from healthcare providers to community members, to visit the Postpartum Support International website for more resources and information.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the intersection of cultural humility and maternal mental health, offering a heartfelt look at how we can all contribute to a more supportive and inclusive healthcare system.
