Show Notes
On today's podcast, I chat with Morgan Turner about how her experience in doula work has transitioned her into the counseling space. She's currently in graduate school and plans to be a perinatal mental health counselor. We chat about maternal mental health, common signs to look out for if you or someone you know is going through some mental health struggles and what to do as a friend or family, and what to do if you are looking for support.
You're listening to the Resource Doula Podcast, a place where we provide information to help you make informed healthcare decisions for yourself and your family.
