New Parents Connection: Lessons from Postpartum Parents (2025 CE Subscription)

Are you looking for new ways to support parents as they move from pregnancy to the postpartum period? Presenters Dr. Joann O'Leary and Dr. Jolene Pearson hosted a postpartum support group together for over 15 years. In listening to the parents, they identified the types of information and support they needed and developed a dynamic model for supporting new parents. This presentation will describe how to reach postpartum parents, the format of the support group, common topics raised by parents, resources helpful in meeting their needs, and suggestions for hosting a your own postpartum group.

Session Objectives:
1. Identify the key issues raised by new parents in postpartum
2. Explore key considerations for hosting a postpartum group.
3. Identify critical resources and knowledge needed by the facilitators.
