Elephant in the Womb

A podcast about the elephant in the room - women's health being constantly overlooked, understudied, or not discussed. My goal is to change that - to amplify the voices of women (inclusively) through this podcast and to help people and parents gain more reliable and evidence-based information about their own health and well-being, as well as their children's. Topics: family health, parenting, women's health (inclusive), LGBTQ+, reproductive and/or sexual health, hot topic health issues, children's safety and development

    Mental Health Nurses and Family Health (Who is on my Healthcare Team? Series)

    A podcast brought to you by Elephant in the Womb (www.elephantinthewomb.ca). Disclaimer: this podcast is for informational purposes only. This is NOT medical advice. If you need medical advice, please see a trusted and/or accessible healthcare provider. Views are my own. Feb 21st is Mental Health Nurses Day in Canada - and so I thought it would be appropriate and fun to have a mental health nurse on the podcast to talk about when and how you might come into contact with one, what they do and can do to support you/your family, and the importance of mental healthcare. If you are a Mental Health Nurse - thank you for all that you do! *This episode will be a part of a new series I am starting on the blog and podcast called "Who is on my Healthcare Team?"
