ISOLATED MOTHERS with Rebecca Gilchrist

If there was one thing you think society should talk more about, what would it be? “The isolation and lack of resources for rural women and mothers”_____Today we meet an extraordinary human. Rebecca Gilchrist is a mother of two, farmer and Clinical Psychologist living and breathing rural life on a 6th generation mixed grazing property in NSW. The rolling granite hills of the New England tablelands are a long way from her childhood as an expatriate, the daughter of a telco executive, raised travelling and living abroad in China, India and Türkiye. When Rebecca found herself birthing her daughter on an ambulance plane at 33 weeks, a stint in NICU and navigating a second high-risk pregnancy in the bush she was confronted with the deafening echo of challenges experienced by many women in accessing maternity care and support for birth trauma recovery in the bush. Rebecca is passionate about sharing her story and bringing mental health services to rural women throughout all of Australia - not just those in the cities.
