Inclusive Beginnings: Mental Health Advocacy with Dr. Fisher
Thanks for stopping by! We'd love to hear from you.
In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Sheehan Fisher, an Associate Professor and perinatal clinical psychologist at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. Dr. Fisher, who also serves as the Associate Dean for Academic Environment and Success at The Graduate School, dives deep into his groundbreaking research on the mental health of parents during the perinatal period—particularly the often overlooked mental health challenges faced by non-birthing parents. We discuss how these mental health factors can significantly impact infant and child health outcomes, and the importance of addressing the well-being of all parents in the journey of early childhood development. Whether you're a new parent, a clinician, or just interested in perinatal psychology, this episode offers valuable insights into the intersection of mental health and parenting.
Tune in to hear more about the critical role mental health plays in shaping the future of families and children.
