Dewanna Cuthbert, MS offers an honest, affirming look at the emotional landscape of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Together, we’ll explore common mental health challenges that show up during the perinatal period—and the myths that keep too many people suffering in silence.

Participants will leave with practical, realistic tools for weaving mental wellness into their care plan, along with strategies for setting boundaries, asking for help, and building a support network that truly shows up.

Topics include:

• Common mental health challenges

• Myths vs. facts about perinatal mental health

• Everyday self-care ideas and sample strategies for centering emotional wellness in your birth plan

• Tips for strengthening your support network and asking for what you need

• Live Q&A and resource share

We’ll also share mental health and community-based resources—and invite professionals in the audience to share their services if applicable.

This is a space for real talk, healing, and connection. You’re not alone. Let’s build the village, together.
