Thousands of parents and caregivers are now weaving psychedelic experiences into their lives, seeking support for challenges like imposter syndrome and maternal guilt. While traditional cultures have long incorporated psychedelics within community life, including pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, the Western psychedelic mainstream still struggles to include families. 👨👩👧👧 Join us THIS FRIDAY for this FREE webinar hosted by Dr. Glauber Loures de Assis, Associate Director of Chacruna Latinoamérica in Brazil.🍃 This presentation, drawing upon the author’s personal experience raising children in a Brazilian psychedelic context, offers 10 points for reflection on navigating this new frontier. It explores the potential and risks of psychedelic therapy for young people, social and economic considerations for psychedelic families, and the need to decolonize the field to embrace diverse perspectives. By sparking a dialogue about psychedelic parenthood, we can work towards a more inclusive and supportive psychedelic renaissance.💞 ✅ Register here to secure your space: https://lnkd.in/gBkaiSns

'But the biggest space we need to make is in our minds and hearts.' <3 In support of World Breastfeeding Week, this article resonates with us and speaks volume about the mindset change that institutions, employers and the community at large have towards breastfeeding. We hope that communities continue to speak out and advocate for more space for breastfeeding mothers, babies and families, even at work! https://lnkd.in/gzTUFz9K

August is also: National Breastfeeding Month, which includes World Breastfeeding Week taking place August 1-7. The theme for 2024 is "Nourish, Sustain, Thrive," emphasizing the need to support lactation throughout the human life cycle. It also encourages individuals, policymakers, and funders to contribute to a sustainable lactation field. Importantly, the principle "FED IS BEST" underscores that the ultimate goal is to ensure that the baby is fed, regardless of the method. So how can a case management team help those patients who choose to breastfeed or want to breastfeed? - Always address the patient's individual needs first and customize the support based on their circumstances and needs. - Provide alternative feeding options and support for mothers who cannot or choose not to breastfeed, reinforcing that: FED IS BEST. - Offer patient appointments with their medical providers, so that they can provide education. - Offer patients appointments with mental health professionals, so that they can offer emotional support. - Connect patients to resources: - National Women's Health and Breastfeeding Helpline 800-994-9662. Available Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM Eastern Time to speak with a health information specialist or trained breastfeeding peer counselor. Counselors can help answer questions, provide support, and help you decide if you need to see a doctor or lactation consultant. They provide assistance in English and Spanish. #nationalbreastfeedingawarenessmonth #casemanagement #resources #fedisbest #enhancedcasemanagement

The community's role in supporting breastfeeding mothers is pivotal, as various factors can influence breast milk production. Each member's contribution, whether it's creating a supportive environment or providing practical and emotional assistance, is significant in helping a woman produce more milk. Here are some tips: 1. Offer Emotional Support (active listening, encouragement, empathy) 2. Help with Household Tasks (cooking meals, caring for other children, household chores) 3. Practical Breastfeeding Support (adjusting positions, hydration, and nutrition, connecting with specialists) 4. Information and Education (sharing resources, accompanying to appointments) 5. Creating a Calm Environment (minimizing stress, privacy, rest breaks) 6. Community Support (support groups, online communities)

Happy World Breastfeeding Week to the mothers out there! 🎉❤️ This year, the question we ask ourselves is: How do we close the gap for our breastfeeding mothers? I understand first-hand the transformative power of a supportive work environment. It's more than just a space; it can be a haven where mothers thrive in their breastfeeding journey. A place where we spend almost as much time as we do with our loved ones, it has to be welcoming and inclusive, meeting our needs. That's why we created private nursing rooms designed for comfort and tranquility. We want to enable mothers to get into a comfortable position and mindset to breastfeed, even at work. We hold steadfast to our commitment of enabling mothers to strike a balance between pursuing their career aspirations and their maternal instincts and responsibilities. A more inclusive environment opens up dialogues and conversations about breastfeeding and creates new opportunities to better understand the realistic challenges and practical solutions, enabling society to meet the needs of breastfeeding mothers. Just as Angela has mentioned in her article, physical changes work in tandem with mindset shifts for us to be able to create a more sustainable change in our approaches and attitudes toward breastfeeding. The importance of a physical change is again underscored here for its potential to influence mindsets when people see these tangible shifts, driving them to dismantle current barriers setting breastfeeding mothers apart from us. As an entrepreneur, I want to leverage on my platform to make a positive impact on breastfeeding mothers. The launch of the Breastfeeding Ally @ Work (BFA) is a testament to our commitment. We offer nursing room reviews, space recommendations tailored to corporate spaces, antenatal classes, lactation consultations, and company-wide workshops to increase the number of thriving workplaces for breastfeeding working mothers. By investing in them, it is also an investment in the future of our businesses. Let's become the village of support every mother deserves and set them up for their successes as they have for us. Together, we can foster a culture of care and create a world where all mothers are celebrated, cherished and empowered. Angela Ang's Article on Want more working mothers to breastfeed?

This week is Black Maternal Health Awareness Week in the UK, and we want to take a moment to discuss the important topic of birth trauma. Birth trauma is a term used to describe a person's experience of childbirth as traumatic and can include physical, emotional, and psychological symptoms. Black women in the UK are five times more likely to die during pregnancy, childbirth, or in the postpartum period than white women. This statistic is shocking, and it highlights the importance of discussing and addressing birth trauma in the Black maternal community. There are many factors that contribute to this disparity, including institutional racism, lack of access to adequate healthcare, and implicit biases. It is essential that we work to dismantle these systemic issues and provide Black women with the support and care they need during pregnancy and childbirth. If you have experienced birth trauma, know that you are not alone, and there is support available. At Restored Healthcare GP, we offer one to one consultation and virtual appointments. Visit us at https://lnkd.in/e4-q_4Gp to find our more. Let's use this week to raise awareness about Black maternal health and to advocate for the necessary changes to ensure that all women have access to safe and equitable healthcare.

Childbirth can be a mixed experience. While it can be wonderful for many parents, it can also be occasionally frightening and traumatic—known as “Birth Trauma” 🌀 Birth trauma refers to any physical or emotional distress experienced during or after childbirth. It can impact both the birthing parents and the infant 👶🏼 The reasons behind birth trauma can vary, including parental or newborn birth injuries, very long and difficult labors, or short, intense ones. It can also result from losing a pregnancy, witnessing the birth trauma of a loved one, or receiving poor communication from the health professionals looking after the birthing parents 😶🌫️ Held every year in July, Birth Trauma Awareness Week will run from July 15th to 21st this year. The 2024 theme is “Informed Consent”: everyone deserves to know their choices, risks, and alternatives during childbirth. Every birth should be supported by informed, respectful, and compassionate care 💟 -- If you are living with birth trauma or are worried you may experience it when you give birth, we are here for you. We can help. Reach out at 800-VALENS or via our website. #BirthTrauma #BirthTraumaAwarenessWeek #InformedConsent

The journey of motherhood is a profound experience marked by a myriad of emotions, physical changes, and the need for unwavering emotional support. From the moment a woman learns of her pregnancy, her body begins a transformative process that continues well beyond childbirth. Alongside the joys and wonders of nurturing new life, however, come challenges that can test even the strongest of mothers. One such challenge, often underestimated and under-addressed, is the struggle with severe motherfeeding issues. While the importance of motherfeeding for both the infant's health and the mother's well-being is widely acknowledged, the reality is that many women face significant hurdles in establishing and maintaining successful motherfeeding. Amidst the desire for emotional stability and the support of a nurturing community, what is not easy to access is clinical support tailored to address severe breastfeeding challenges. This gap in access to specialized clinical care can exacerbate feelings of frustration, inadequacy, and isolation among mothers and their entire families grappling with motherfeeding difficulties. Tertiary Lactation Care is warranted & needed by such families and they deserve that level of care & support.

July is Postpartum Changes Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness of the physical and emotional changes new mothers experience after childbirth and support women during this crucial new phase of their lives. Our company was founded to enhance the quality of maternity care and improve women's lives after childbirth by focusing on early diagnosis of obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIs). So, we are glad to be a part of this initiative. For this occasion, we have brought together the most important organizations and their initiatives on women's health related to postnatal care. These initiatives promote an open conversation about women's postnatal challenges and provide the support they need in the postnatal period. ⬇ [Link in comments] ⬇. Supporting women in the postnatal period is about tending to their physical and mental well-being and creating a nurturing community where every Mom feels heard and embraced. Let's always remember that sharing knowledge and offering support has a profound impact on the well-being of mothers and their families. Together, we can cultivate a nurturing environment characterized by understanding, empathy, and genuine assistance for every woman in need during this significant time.
