Unveils 1to1maternity, a revamped service designed to empower women during this significant life transition
1to1help, a leading Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) service provider, reaffirms its commitment to maternal mental health with the launch of 1to1maternity – (previously Healthy Maternity) a revamped service designed to empower women during this significant life transition.
Mahua Bisht, CEO, 1to1help, provides insights on the workplace landscape concerning maternal well-being, “It is imperative to acknowledge that the emotional well-being of a mother or father is as important as their physical well-being during this transformative period. While there is considerable awareness and support for physical and medical issues provided to new parents, there is a gap in the emotional support provided. 1to1maternity provides this for often neglected emotional challenges such as guilt, body image, and anxiety that can further exacerbate the physical demands that early parenthood places on parents such as lack of sleep. Overcoming these challenges is key for other forms of support (physical and physiological) to be effective. By offering emotional well-being support, childcare assistance and professional development, peer support, mentorship, and flexibility with work, companies can take proactive steps to ensure women’s career continuity; a key component of DEI initiatives.”
Recognising the diverse challenges faced by mothers, 1to1help’s product aims to assist with all, acknowledging that factors such as social isolation, lack of sleep, excessive guilt, fatigue, and poor relationship status can contribute to antenatal and postnatal depression and anxiety for both parents.
