About me: Hi! I’m Lisa. In July 2021, I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy, Oli. But what was supposed to be the best time of my life quickly became my darkest reality. After a traumatic birth and a NICU stay, I developed postpartum psychosis. Because of lack of proper medical care, my recovery was long and painful. I battled postpartum depression, anxiety and PTSD. I climb because I want to raise awareness about perinatal mental health and the need for services in Ontario. Please follow my journey on IG @mama_to_oli ❤️
About the event: Perinatal Wellbeing Ontario will be hosting our first annual Climb Out of the Darkness - Team Ontario Virtual event during the first week of October. The Climb is a program of Postpartum Support International, in partnership with Life With a Baby Foundation. The Climb will go DIRECTLY to PWO programs that help those in Ontario who are living with PMADs access therapy and peer support so that no one has to suffer alone.
