Preparing for Baby: Postpartum Mental Health
 | |
Mary Polce-Lynch, Ph.D.
|
The nursery colors are picked out and the registry items are selected. What's left to do as you plan for your new arrival? At Virginia Women's Center, we believe that a woman's postpartum mental health is just as important as her physical health and that's why we'd like to suggest that our expectant moms plan and learn about complete postpartum health - health of body and mind. Dr. Mary Polce-Lynch, psychologist at Virginia Women's Center, will offer a workshop for expectant or new moms. The hour-long educational workshop will focus on the psychological health and well-being of new mothers. Some of the topics that will be covered include: - The hormonal, physical and psychosocial changes that come with having a baby
- The continuum of postpartum mental health conditions
- Factors that may predispose individuals to have a postpartum condition
- Tips for preventing or reducing the effects of postpartum conditions
- Treatment options to consider if a diagnosis is made
 Where: Virginia Women's Center Henrico Doctors' location. The workshop will be held in the waiting room.
When: Tuesday, July 9 from 5:30 p.m. until 6:30 p.m.
Registration: To register, please call 804.288.4084 by Friday, July 5, 2013.
Cost: This educational workshop is offered at no charge. It is for Virginia Women's Center patients and their significant others only. |

Boot Camp for New Dads
Saturday, June 8
Boot Camp for New Dads is a program, by men and for men, in which veterans (new fathers who bring their 2-12 month old babies) orient rookies (fathers-to-be) on the realities of fatherhood. During the three hour session that takes place on a Saturday morning, discussions will focus on caring for babies and new moms, balancing work life with fatherhood, financing a family, following conflicting advice and dealing with your mother-in-law.
On June 8, Boot Camp for New Dads will be at Memorial Regional Medical Center in the Community Education Room. For more information or to see the class schedule, visit the First Things First of Greater Richmond Web site.
The workshops emphasize the unique strengths and creativity that men have in caring for their children. When dads get involved in caring for their children in addition to moms, their children benefit greatly.
