Interview with Alessandra Weber, Managing Director of Institut Kinderseele Schweiz

Alessandra, we hear from parents who are going through a mental health crisis in the weeks or months after the birth of their child – struggling with postpartum depression or other perinatal mental health conditions. Their children are often still very young, some still breastfeeding, too young to understand why mum or dad is not doing well. Many of those affected carry an immense weight of guilt, and live with the fear that their child may be lastingly harmed by what the family is going through.
