Postpartum depression rates have risen 111% from 2010 to 2021, leading many workers to submit mental health claims and take extended leaves of absence. In fact, employers have seen a 215% increase of short-term disability leaves due to postpartum depression between 2020 and 2023.

While it's encouraging that more parents are recognizing symptoms and seeking help, many workplaces may be unprepared to support them effectively. Postpartum mental health challenges can affect not only mothers but also fathers and partners, making it crucial for organizations to help foster a supportive and understanding work environment.

Join us as we discuss:  

  • How to recognize postpartum depression in employees.

  • Benefits and resources that can help workers recover and thrive.

  • Strategies for fostering a supportive, stigma-free workplace.
