Maternidad empoderada: estrategias para el bienestar emocional en el posparto (Empowered Motherhood: Strategies for Emotional Wellness in Postpartum in Spanish)
with Patricia Mestas
Maternidad empoderada es una serie de cuatro semanas diseñada para ayudar a las mujeres embarazadas a superar los desafíos que pueden enfrentar durante el período posparto temprano. Si bien esta clase no es un tratamiento para la depresión posparto, su objetivo es brindarles a los participantes una comprensión de las emociones normales que se experimentan durante el período posparto, a menudo denominadas "tristeza posparto", y cómo reconocer cuándo estos sentimientos pueden indicar algo más graves, como la depresión posparto. Los participantes también obtendrán herramientas para controlar el estrés durante el embarazo y el período posparto, establecer límites con sus seres queridos, pedir ayuda, comunicar sus necesidades e identificar recursos para apoyo adicional cuando sea necesario.
Asegúrese de llegar a tiempo, ya que los participantes que lleguen con más de 15 minutos de retraso no serán admitidos.
**Esta clase es exclusivamente para futuras madres. Para fomentar un espacio para el intercambio abierto y la vulnerabilidad, no se permite la asistencia de los socios. Si la clase se cancela por algún motivo, los participantes serán notificados de inmediato.**
