Empowering Parents: Understanding Perinatal Mental Health

In this episode of "Perspectively Yours," we had the privilege of hosting Kara Kushnir, a psychotherapist and LCSW specializing in perinatal mental health. Kara shares her journey into this field, inspired by her personal experiences with perinatal anxiety. She sheds light on the critical importance of mental health support during the perinatal period and the need for regular, comprehensive care to ensure the well-being of new parents and their families.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The gap in perinatal mental health care
  • Commonizing vs. normalizing
  • Why people don’t seek help
  • Organizations bridging the gap
