New Handouts for the Postpartum Period: How Sleep, Exercise, Mindfulness, and Babywearing Support Health and Well-Being

The perinatal period provides a tremendous opportunity to prevent and address the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) — for multiple generations. ACEs Aware has developed new handouts, created in collaboration with La Clinica de la Raza and with the help of ACEs Aware patient advisors, that offer trauma-informed education and tips for postpartum well-being related to sleep, exercise, mindfulness, and babywearing, with attention to benefits for mental as well as physical health. The handouts emphasize tapping into support, and connecting with the family’s new baby, to help families have the best possible start.  

Access the handouts on the ACEs Aware website.
