The Nassau County Department of Health Perinatal Services Network, in collaboration with Zucker Hillside Hospital and several other organizations, has created a new public service campaign on postpartum depression called “Ask the Question.”
Dr. Tina Walch, director of adult ambulatory services at Zucker Hillside Hospital in Glen Oaks, NY, and the head of the hospital’s Perinatal Psychiatry Service, explains, “Our goal is to get people to ask a pregnant woman or mother of a newborn how she is doing and if she feels that she might need help for herself or for her newborn. It’s important to ask the question and to really listen to the answer.”
The campaign has a new website you can check out. Plus, I just watched the public service announcement video they created on YouTube and thought you might like to see it as well.
