Maternal Well-Being

Becoming a mother changes everything in more ways than people talk about. This session is for mothers dealing with postpartum stress, the identity shift that comes with having a child, relationship changes, the exhaustion that does not go away with sleep, or just the nagging feeling that something is not right, even when everything looks fine from the outside. My MA dissertation was specifically focused on maternal stress and child outcomes in India, so this is not a generic wellness session. It is based on research and understanding what this experience actually looks like for women here.
