I am so excited to welcome another amazing presenter! Everyone say hi to Erin 👋

Erin Brown, MSW, RSW is a Registered Social Worker with a part-time private practice in Peterborough, Ontario. Postpartum mental health and well-being became her practice focus in 2013 after hearing about mental health service gaps in the Peterborough and Kawarthas area as the Social Worker at the Pediatric Outpatient (POP) Clinic, Peterborough Regional Health Centre, in its formative years. This focus combined Erin's prior work in healthcare and mental health since 2002, including birth planning and postpartum mental health care with incarcerated women. It also aligned with her journey of being a new Mom at the time, and her own experiences of the intersections of adjustment to Motherhood, mental health, trauma and impossible expectations on women. Over the past 11 years, Erin's practice with Moms and gender-expansive parents has transformed from crisis management and mental health stabilization to more broadly include the centering of individual well-being, re/discovery of the Self within the Mothering and parenting journey, trauma processing, mindfulness for Moms and primary parents, and healthy boundaries with narcissistic family members. Erin has 2 children who are now approaching and entering their teen years. She is an outdoors enthusiast, spiritual seeker, lover of beach days and cheer Mom.

I am so excited to have Erin join our Mini Movers group! She will be facilitating some amazing conversations!

Had a great time at the Kawarthas & Area Ontario Association of Social Workers’ (OASW) Private Practice Group’s June Social today at 100 Acre Brewing Company

We meet virtually through most of the year to support our practices and each other. Getting together in-person is always a good vibe!
