Healthy Illness
“Mental health conditions are the leading cause of maternal mortality…” Ep. 151 In this episode of Healthy Illness, I’m continuing the conversation on Black maternal health because this isn’t just about statistics, it’s about lives. As a birth and postpartum doula, I share how mental health, systemic bias, and gaps in care are impacting Black mothers at higher rates and what we can do about it 🖤 Black women are three to five times more likely to die from childbirth-related complications than white women. 🖤 Mental health conditions are the leading cause of maternal mortality, affecting 1 in 5 women. “Individually, we can make changes to this big thing we call the system by how we move about our day-to-day lives.” Related Episodes What It Really Takes to Be a Calming Nature Doula with Shannon Johns (Part 2) | Podcasts [https://www.jazzcastpros.com/the-healthy-illness-podcast/episode/f6b9d364/what-it-really-takes-to-be-a-calming-nature-doula-with-shannon-johns-part-2] The Weight of the Cape — Healing from the Superwoman Schema | Podcasts [https://www.jazzcastpros.com/the-healthy-illness-podcast/episode/cc06c455/the-weight-of-the-cape-healing-from-the-superwoman-schema] Resources Mentioned: https://www.calmingnaturedoula.com/ [https://www.calmingnaturedoula.com/] Black Mamas Matter Alliance - Advancing Black Maternal Health, Rights & Justice.
