I would love to read the details on how you plan to improve the mental health of mothers. Could you update your entry to include the details? What specific plans do you have to improve mental health? I look forward to learning more about your idea soon!

Hi Sarah,
I am really glad that you have taken interest in this topic. I have recently updated my entry. First of all I would like you to know that I still have not started working on my project. It's still only in it's idea level and would probably take a while before I am able to put it into motion. Secondly, as far as my ideas go, the specific plans would include a very vague scenario where the following would be included:
1) regular counselling sessions with the mother (Pre, During and Post)
2) regular counselling with also the partner to enable him/her to understand the difficulties and ways in which he can help out
3) relaxation techniques
4) Yoga
5) reading to the baby in the womb
6) Music for the baby
7) In depth help for women with previous miscarriages, post partum stress, alcohol/drug abuse.

These are a few ideas that I feel can be used.
If there is any way I can receive help, i would appreciate it.

Thank You,
Kinjal Trivedi

Kinjal,

Although your idea is still in its beginning stage, it has great potential. I have a few questions that might help you refine it further and help the judges understand the steps you take to implement these mental health exercises.

What specific region/community do you plan to work with? Where will your services be available (community health center, clinic, hospital, etc.)? How will you encourage women to participate? You mentioned that the women will participate in regular counseling, yoga, and education on mental health--where will you recruit the counselors and individuals to give these services?

I look forward to hearing more soon.
