In this episode, Nicole Harlot and Dawn Thompson engage with Kerry Ingram, a postpartum mental health specialist, to discuss the critical role of community support during the postpartum period. They explore the concept of 'village tending,' emphasizing the importance of building a supportive network for new parents. The conversation highlights the need for parents to feel safe and supported, the challenges of navigating boundaries with visitors, and practical strategies for organizing community help. The episode concludes with a focus on the value of trust and individualized care in the parenting journey.

Community Supported Postpartum can help birthworkers and/or parents do everything from planning a fully supported fourth trimester to throwing a brilliant baby shower to interrupting harmful narratives impacting new parents to creating more community with parent and baby groups...so you can be even more of a champion for the people you love.

Because showing up for each other is a skill, so let's skill up and show up for newborn parents.
