Welcome to birth trauma stories Podcast

S.2 E.21 Heather Martin: Maternal Suicide

This week’s episode hits extra hard, but it felt right closing Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month with Heather's story.  We discuss an often sensitive and taboo topic, maternal suicide. Heather lost her sister, Jennifer, to maternal suicide, just weeks after the birth of her niece, and days after leaving inpatient treatment. Tune in to hear how Heather has turned this awful tragedy into hope and support for other moms.


This week's topic can be very hard to hear. We encourage our listeners to show themselves extra care while listening.
