I was recently interviewed by Walker Karraa, a regular contributor for Science & Sensibility, a research blog about Healthy Pregnancy, Birth & Beyond from Lamaze International.

Walker Karraa has written an excellent three part series on Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD) and what the childbirth educator or birth professional can do to help women get the help they may need when dealing with mental illness during the prenatal and postpartum period. Walker interviews experts in the field who all offer concrete steps, activities and resources so that educators and others can do to be more prepared to discuss this important subject with students and clients.

In the post, Professional Perspectives Part III: Advocacy, Postpartum Doulas and Childbirth Education, Part III of the series, Walker interviews me. Here is the direct link:
