I chat with Newborn Mothers educator Amanda Stinton from Our Fourth Trimester, who teaches the module on mental health in our Postpartum Education and Care Professional training. Together we discuss the importance of normalising conversations about maternal suicide, how to talk to someone having suicidal thoughts and where to find support. At the core of this conversation, we explore how we can be a helper, ready and willing to assist people who might find themselves in that place.

In this episode, we are joined by Natalie Telyatnikov, the creator and founder of Better Postpartum. Natalie’s calling is to create better postpartum education for all mothers using her professional background in childbirth education and journalism.
