Postpartum Depression in Women of Color - a podcast by HEYDOCLETSCHAT

"The Strong Black woman or superwoman stereotype reflects a woman who is constantly juggling multiple tasks and helping to provide for her family...but at the expense of her own self care and needs." says Dr Amber A. Hewitt a psychologist and specialist in gendered racial socialization.
Black mothers are suffering in silence because of this stereotype!
Studies show that new mothers of color have rates of postpartum depression soaring close to 38% compared with the 13 – 19% rate for all new mothers. Join us as we share personal experiences and open the dialogue on this very important topic in mental health.
