4th Maternal and Child Health Training Conference, Day 2

Day 2 is complete!

One of our favorite parts of this conference are the morning sessions centered around patient and provider mental health.

This morning Eliana with Healey International Relief Foundation talked about self-care and burnout, which really resonated with the participants. She introduced techniques such as belly breathing and body scans, and discussed the importance of asking for help.

The weight of caring for pregnant women in Sierra Leone is beyond heavy. Focusing on the wellbeing of frontline workers needs to be a priority, so we can help lighten the load.

It takes a village.
