🌍 World Mental Health Day: Why Supporting New Parents at Work Matters 💼👶 Returning to work after parental leave can be one of the most challenging transitions for new parents. From balancing work and family life to dealing with emotional and physical changes, it’s a period that requires significant support—both at home and in the workplace. At HappiNest, we believe that employers have a crucial role to play in easing this transition. Our Maternity and Back-to-Work Program provides the resources and support new parents need to thrive. Key Challenges Faced by New Parents Returning to Work: ❌ 30% of women employed during pregnancy never return to work after maternity leave. 🧠 22% of new mothers struggle with perinatal mental health issues, such as postpartum depression, anxiety or severe stress. ⚖️ 81% of mothers find the transition back to work challenging. Creating a supportive, inclusive workplace benefits everyone—parents, employers and the organisation.

🎉 We're Going Live This Thursday! Most expecting parents have little clue about how breastfeeding works, what to expect in the first few hours after delivery, or how to initiate breastfeeding. When the moment actually arrives, it often leads to confusion and stress. Empowering yourself with the basics of breastfeeding can make all the difference. It ensures that you are mentally prepared and informed about your choices, know what to ask of your healthcare provider, and understand what’s needed for a successful breastfeeding initiation. But what if things don’t go as planned? It’s just as important to be prepared with alternatives. Join us this Thursday for an Instagram Live session with Deepti Arora, Certified Lactation Consultant and Child Nutritionist. She’ll be covering all this and more, providing essential insights to help you feel confident and prepared as you embark on this journey. 📅 Date: August 15, 2024 🕛 Time: 12:00 PM 🔗 Instagram: https://lnkd.in/grr36_td This is a must-watch if you’re expecting, a new parent, or someone who is involved in caring for a new mother and baby. Let’s make this journey smoother for you and your little one! 💛 #Breastfeeding #ParentingSupport #LactationConsultant #NewParents #ParentingJourney
