Explore a powerful TEDx talk that delves into the challenges of accessing healthcare support for postpartum depression in small, culturally distinct communities. Learn about Rivki Dwek's personal struggle with perinatal mood disorders following the birth of her second child, and how her experience as an Orthodox Jewish woman highlighted the gap between her community's understanding and national healthcare services. Discover how Dwek's journey led to the creation of Menucha, an organization dedicated to bridging the divide between hard-to-reach communities and statutory services. Gain insights into the importance of cultural sensitivity in healthcare and the need for better understanding of postpartum depression, which affects one in four mothers. Understand the complexities of navigating treatment while respecting religious values and beliefs, and be inspired by Dwek's efforts to create meaningful connections between small communities and national healthcare providers.
