Beyond the Blues by MAP Maker Carol Johnson
Join MAP Maker Carol Johnson Sunday, April 5th at 7:00 pm for her presentation of "Beyond the Blues" an online workshop for the Birth and Baby Fair.
Here's a sneak peek at the content:
Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders affect a surprising number of women and their families. Symptoms can range from depression to anxiety to obsessive-compulsions to panic attacks to thoughts of self-harm. These could occur during pregnancy or throughout the first year of your baby's life. If you experience any of these, you are not alone. You are not to blame. And with help you will be well. In this workshop, we will discuss what to look for (in yourself or in your partner). We will discuss risk factors and treatment options. And we will discuss creative ways to find the support you need to be healthy, happy mama.
“Pregnancy and parenthood offer unique joys and challenges for both mamas and their partners. I offer support and walk alongside as people journey through the ups and downs of this experience. In my practice, I see individuals and couples, depending on the goals of therapy.”
