This presentation will explore the multifaceted impact of violence against women during the perinatal period. Participants will gain insights into three prevalent forms of violence – adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), intimate partner violence, and sexual assault, as well as their effects on breastfeeding and maternal mental health. The session will highlight how trauma symptoms (rather than trauma itself) can hinder breastfeeding, while also emphasizing the benefits of breastfeeding for trauma survivors. Strategies that healthcare providers can implement to support breastfeeding among abuse survivors will also be provided.
