Video begins with a view of iron sculpture with city skyline and word "Tulsa" and park-like setting in background. Birds chirp and soft music plays. Music continues throughout video. Text fades onto title screen that reads, "Hear Her. Hear Her Concerns. Montika's Story. Supporting Sarah through her postpartum journey." CDC, HHS, and Office of Minority Health (OMH) logos show at bottom. Screen fades to Montika and Sarah sitting together on a white sofa. Montika: I’m Montika Collins. I am in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I'm a nurse and an internationally board certified lactation consultant, a health and wellness coach, and an herbalist. Screen shifts to closer view of Montika and Sarah: When I first met Sarah, she had the issues with her baby, but I also could tell that she had some other things going on. Screen changes to Sarah standing alone outside with text, "Sarah was experiencing postpartum depression." Screen shifts back to Montika and Sarah closeup. Montika: There were a couple of tearful moments when we were talking, and so I asked her about that. Sarah nods in agreement as Montika continues: How often was she, you know, getting tearful like that? And, you know, we just kind of started talking. Screen changes to closeup of Sarah outside. Screen shifts back to Montika listening to Sarah speaking: When Montika came into our lives as our lactation consultant. It seemed pretty cut and dry. She was going to help me get my breastfeeding journey, you know, on the right path, and then we'd be good to go. But it ended up becoming more to me as someone who was genuinely interested in helping me and my family. Screen changes to Sarah and children walking hand-in-hand on tree-shaded path, then back to Montika and Sarah who continues: She just said, How are you doing? I know there's been a lot of changes recently. Screen shifts to wider view as Montika speaks: My belief, my mentor always said, You heal the mom, you heal the baby. Screen changes to black-and-white selfie of Sarah and baby, both smiling. Montika: So my focus is looking at them as a whole. Screen shifts back to Montika and Sarah. Montika continues while Sarah listens and nods repeatedly: You're looking at a mind, a body, a spiritual. It's the whole picture of not having support and not feeling heard as a mom and having someone that steps in and says, you know, "How are you feeling? What's going on? I'm going to meet you where you're at, and we're going to come up with solutions that are going to work for you and your family." Screen changes to Sarah, her children, and more family members outside. They are aligned and smiling with arms around each other. Screen shifts back to Montika listening as Sarah speaks: Everyone who saw me thought, You're doing so great. You know, your baby's so cute. He's so healthy and you look great. As Sarah continues, screen changes to her sitting on a swing, looking down at her hands in her lap: But I was hiding the fact that I was totally not okay. Screen shifts back to Montika and Sarah: So Montika helped me to know that it was okay, that I wasn't okay. But it wasn't my fault. That it was just something I needed help with, that I didn't know how to ask for help with. Screen changes to picture of Sarah and Montika smiling at each other. Sarah: It was the difference between depression and life for me. Screen shifts back to Montika and Sarah. Montika: Once the baby gets here, I feel like everybody is really interested and helpful. Like that first week. But then everybody goes home, you know, and goes back to their lives. We have to do better about follow-up care with moms. That postpartum period, in my opinion, needs the most support. Screen changes to picture of Sarah and Montika together, smiling for camera. Sarah's arm is around Montika's shoulders. Screen shifts back to Montika and Sarah. Sarah: One of the reasons why I felt so confident in the care that Montika was providing because every time she would come it was for lactation purposes, but it always ended up being the only person I saw that whole week. And I just thought, I just have to keep this to myself until it gets better. But then Montika really in her genuine desire to help, saw me and heard me, and knew you need a little bit more than lactation help. And really kind of pushed me toward getting help, because I wasn't okay. Screen changes to picture of Sarah and Montika sitting together, smiling for camera as Sarah continues: She gave me the courage to seek the help that I needed at that time. Screen shifts to Montika and Sarah sitting on couch. Sarah nods repeatedly as Montika says: I want women to understand that it's not easy and that we don't have to carry the responsibility. You have to ask yourself the question, Am I okay? Because as a mom, we don't ask ourselves, Are we okay? Sarah shakes her head and quietly says, "Yeh," agreeing with Montika. Sarah nods more as Montika explains: As a mom, we (say), "Is the baby okay? Is my husband okay?" But we're not asking, are we okay? And those things, um, that's the most important question. Screen changes to Sarah and her children outside smiling at camera. Montika: Because if the mom isn't okay, then the baby is not going to be okay. Screen shifts to Montika and Sarah sitting on couch looking into camera. Montika: Hear Her. Screen changes to picture of Sarah and Montika together, smiling for camera. Text on screen: Hear Her logo.
