Postpartum depression (PPD) can feel overwhelming, but a partner’s support makes a big difference. Here are simple ways to help:

Listen without judgment – Be present and let her share feelings.
Encourage rest – Handle baby care or encourage naps when possible.
Take on tasks - help prepare meals/snacks, cleaning, laundry, etc
Validate her experience – postpartum is hard!
Support therapy – Encourage professional help and join her if possible.
Care for yourself – Your well-being matters too.

Small acts of care—whether listening or helping with daily tasks—can make recovery feel lighter. If your family is navigating PPD, therapy can help both mom and partner find relief.
