Raising a baby is a wonderful experience but it is also a challenge. We get that. This year on Bell Let's Talk Day, we are hosting a low-key informal Pajama Party for you to come out with your baby to meet other moms and chat.  We'll have a speaker to give a short talk about self-care and what we can do to take better care of ourselves while caring for our little ones. 

The speaker will talk about self-care and wellness followed by a 20 minute circle time, and 20 minutes of mingling. 

Coffee/snacks will be provided. 

Hosted by tba. 

Talk lead by Samantha Copithorne

I am a third year Master’s of Counselling student at Athabasca

University. I am an advocate for maternal mental health, and am

interested in helping individuals in this area. I have completed basic

and advanced training in perinatal psychotherapy training from

Postpartum Support International. I have presented on postpartum

posttraumatic stress disorder (P-PTSD) in New York City, and have

subsequently published a literature review on P-PTSD. I have also been

accepted to present on P-PTSD at the upcoming Canadian Counselling and

Psychotherapy Association in May. I am currently in my final semester of

 my practicum and have been seeing many types of clients - including

maternal mental health clients in a therapeutic setting.
