Motivation
I have always believed that a strong society begins with emotionally healthy individuals, and that caring for psychological well-being should start long before difficulties turn into a crisis.
Today, we are increasingly discussing mental health challenges in society, the growing prevalence of depression, and the need for psychological support. One area that I believe deserves greater attention is women’s emotional health during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
Postpartum depression is not just an individual woman’s problem – it is a matter of well-being for the entire family, community, and society.
My main motivation is to ensure that no new mother is left alone.
Throughout my professional experience and many years of working with mothers, I have seen how much timely support can change. Sometimes, a mother does not need a complicated solution, but simply someone who notices her struggles, listens to her, and helps her find the right support.
Having returned to live in Lithuania, I want to use the experience and knowledge I have gained to create meaningful, long-term change. I see the Create Lithuania programme as an opportunity to contribute to building a system in which maternal emotional health is recognised, understood, and considered an important part of public health.
