ASHEVILLE, N.C. – Aeroflow Breastpumps has partnered with Canopie to offer app-based mental health care and psychoeducation to help parents and caregivers manage the highs and lows of parenthood. Research has long shown the correlation between a mom’s breastfeeding relationship and her mental health, with breastfeeding complications increasing the risk of developing a perinatal mood disorder like postpartum depression, Aeroflow says. By weaving a mental health intervention into lactation support, this first-of-its-kind partnership opens up the door to better, more seamless care delivery for moms, it says. “Every day, our team hears from moms who are struggling,” says Jennifer Jordan, vice president of sales operations at Aeroflow Healthcare. “The conversations begin with worries about feeding their baby, but so often they are intertwined with other fears, anxieties, sadness and frustrations. The clear overlap between breastfeeding and mental health makes our partnership with Canopie a natural fit and enables us to provide a more holistic solution in support of our mission to improve maternal health outcomes from the earliest stages of pregnancy and well into the postpartum journey.” The app, which customizes audio and text-based therapeutic programs in English and Spanish, addresses parenting challenges like sleep, feeding and bonding. It also escalates the most vulnerable users to live support.
