OVERVIEW:

The postpartum period is a time of profound transition and emotion for new mothers. For women experiencing postpartum without the presence of their own mothers—due to loss, estrangement, or other circumstances—the journey can be uniquely challenging. This training, led by researcher Brittany Nwachuku, delves into the concept of “motherless mothering” and its impact on postpartum grief. Participants will explore the emotional and psychological experiences of these women, gain insights into their specific support needs, and learn strategies to provide compassionate, effective care that fosters healing and resilience.

By attending our workshop, you will be able to:

• Define “motherless mothering” and understand its unique challenges during the postpartum period.
• Recognize the emotional and psychological impact of postpartum grief in women mothering without their mothers.
• Identify practical strategies and interventions to support postpartum women experiencing motherless mothering.
