Ep197: Perinatal Mental Health with Anne Wanlund from Canopie

Continuing on the topic of mental health, this week’s episode is an interview with the CEO and founder of Canopie, Anne Wanlund. Canopie is an app that works in tandem with top perinatal mental health experts to give parents access to clinically-effective therapies. Their mission is to make mental wellness support universal and a standard part of pregnancy and postpartum care. I appreciate the preventative approach of Anne’s work. It helps bridge the gap between those who need care and the services that can help them. Her own experience inspired her to create a solution: something streamlined, easy to use, and affordable - she’s even working to make it FREE! I want you to know that I am not being compensated for this episode. I think Canopie is doing great work and I just love to bring you all information about tools that may be helpful in your pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey. In this Episode, You’ll Learn About: -How prevalent perinatal issues are -How screening tools are deficient -What the financial and societal impacts are of maternal mental health issues -What types of preventions are shown to be effective -What the Canopie app is and who it works for -How shame and stigma stop some people from seeking mental health care -What research has been done to evaluate the effectiveness of the app -How Canopie interfaces with traditional mental health services   -- Full website notes: drnicolerankins.com/episode197 Check out The Birth Preparation Course Register for the class How to Create a Birth Plan the Right Way Our Sponsors: * Check out ByHeart and use my code DRNICOLE for a great deal: byheart.com/podcast * Download FamilyAlbum from the App Store today, and start creating a legacy of love one photo at a time. * Get $120 Off Across 4 Boxes, Plus Free Shipping and Free Cookies!
