Postpartum Virtual
Care Sessions
Early Postpartum Virtual Support Group
We recognize the additional stress and isolation that the pandemic has created for everyone, but even more so for new mothers. One of the factors that supports mental health in the postpartum period is connection, especially with other women in the same postpartum period.
When: Wednesday mornings from 11 am to 12:30 pm
Who is invited: Parent and baby from Birth to discharge at 6 weeks postpartum
Where: Virtual Sessions using Zoom (information and link to join is below)
To increase privacy for all, we will use the following tools and practices during the Zoom session:
-
When you join, the waiting room feature is enabled and Shelley will admit you.
-
The sessions are only open to clients of Midwifery Services of Durham/ Markham Stouffville Midwives. Only mother and baby are invited to join.
-
Find a relatively quiet, private place to join the session for both your privacy as well as the other participants' privacy.
-
Use a headset if possible, to help maintain the privacy of others on the call and improve the sound quality so you can be heard easily.
-
At any time during the session if you do not wish to be seen or heard:
-
you can move your camera or turn the camera off
-
you can mute your mic
-
The chat feature will be turned on if you do not have a mic or do not wish to talk.
