In this compelling episode of Shoulder to Shoulder, we meet Charli, who built a demanding career in British Aerospace while privately battling mental health challenges. After a long and transformative healing journey, Charli made the bold decision to switch careers and dedicate herself to peer support—using her lived experience to help others facing similar struggles.
Now a perinatal peer supporter, Charli works with mothers, families, and neurodivergent parents navigating the complexities of postnatal mental health, including:
✔️ The role of perinatal peer support in post-natal depression and anxiety recovery
✔️ How peer-led mental health support bridges the gap between clinical care and emotional support
✔️ The unique challenges faced by neurodivergent parents during pregnancy and early parenthood
✔️ Why peer support for new mothers and families is vital for maternal mental health and overall family well-being
This episode sheds light on the power of lived experience in perinatal mental health care and the critical role of peer support in reducing stigma, fostering community, and providing compassionate guidance to families facing postnatal challenges.
🎧 Listen now to hear Charli’s inspiring journey and the life-changing impact of perinatal peer support for mothers, families, and neurodivergent parents.
