Putting me back together again: accessing healthcare in small communities | Rivki Dwek | TEDxNHS

Following the birth of her second child, Rivki Dwek struggled to access support for her diagnosed postpartum depression. Her community hadn't understood that this affects 1 in 4 of all mothers and national healthcare services didn't know how to navigate treatment alongside her Orthodox Jewish values and beliefs. Rivki shares her experience and how she has set out to create links between small communities and national services. Rivki is an Orthodox Jewish woman who has lived experience of perinatal mood disorders following the birth of her second child. Following her recovery Rivki co-founded Menucha, an organisation which would bridge the gap between her small 'hard to reach' community and National statutory services. This journey was informed by her experience of struggling to access support services from her community which didn't understand the condition and healthcare services which didn't know how to reach her within her cultural context. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
