First Food Equity Series: Perinatal Mood Support and Lactation

This session focuses on the crucial intersection of perinatal mood disorders and lactation, offering healthcare providers a deep dive into the complex relationship between mental health and breastfeeding success. This session will provide participants with comprehensive insights into identifying, supporting, and managing perinatal mood disorders while optimizing lactation outcomes. Participants will explore evidence-based strategies for supporting mental health during the perinatal period and discuss how to integrate these practices into lactation support to promote holistic well-being for both parents and infants.
