[10] She also received the University of Alberta Alumni Horizon award in 2004, recognizing outstanding early accomplishments of alumni. [11]

Early life and education

Letourneau was born in Fredericton, New Brunswick. She graduated from the Fredericton High School in 1987 and went on complete her baccalaureate degree in nursing from the University of New Brunswick in 1991, after which she successfully completed the requirements to be a Registered Nurse. After she became a Registered Nurse, she was employed in the surgery ward at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital as well as the Women and Children's unit at the Oromocto Public Hospital. [12]

In 1992, she moved to Alberta and enrolled in the University of Alberta, where she received a fellowship from the National Health Research and Development Program. She completed her master's degree in 1994 [13] and subsequently started her PhD in nursing from University of Alberta. Alongside her PhD, she served as a registered nurse at various hospitals including the University of Alberta Hospital working in pediatric surgery and intensive care, as well in pediatric homecare of Alberta Health Services. [14]

Career

After the completion of her PhD in 1998, she left her work as a nurse and became an assistant professor at the University of Alberta, where she had been working as a research assistant and researcher on various projects. [15]

Letourneau received post-doctoral fellowships from Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research (AHFMR) and CIHR for her research on support interventions for high-risk families affected by teenage motherhood, depression and other stressors. [16]

In early 2003, Letourneau created the Child Health Intervention and Longitudinal Development (CHILD) Studies Program at the University of Alberta and moved back to her hometown of New Brunswick joining the University of New Brunswick as associate professor. Simultaneously, she became a research fellow at the Canadian Research Institute for Social Policy (CRISP) at the University of New Brunswick. [17] During this time she became an adjunct professor at the University of Alberta to focus on her work at CHILD. Her research focus began changing from early childhood development to postpartum depression. In 2004, CIHR gave her a grant to conduct research on supporting families affected by postpartum depression. [18] [19]

In July 2007, Letourneau received tenure as a professor at the University of New Brunswick. In 2011, she left CRISP as well as University of New Brunswick and joined the Faculty of Nursing at University of Calgary. Simultaneously, she became a scientist at the Alberta Children's Hospital Research Institute. She received the Norlien/Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation Chair with grants totaling $1.4 million to conduct research on parent-infant mental health issues. This role has allowed her to focus most of her time on research. [20]

After focusing on research in the Faculty of Nursing for a year, Letourneau joined to the Cumming School of Medicine attaining appointments in Pediatrics, Psychiatry and Community Health Sciences. In 2012, she was appointed as a director of RESOLVE Alberta (Research and Education to Solutions to Violence and Abuse) at the University of Calgary and in 2015, she served as an interim director at the Owerko Centre for Neurodevelopment and Child Mental Health. [21]

As of 2016, Letourneau serves as the Professor of Nursing and Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary and the director of RESOLVE Alberta. She is also the principal investigator of CHILD and the Research Chair in Parent and Child Mental Health. [22] She is a member of many international societies, including a founding board member of the International Association for the Study of Attachment, member of the Society for Emotional and Attachment Studies, World Association for Infant Mental Health and Post-partum Support International. [23]

She has a history of provincial and national governance, serving on the board of the New Brunswick Foundation for Health Research (2010–13), National Collaborating Centre on the Determinants of Health (2007–2011), CIHR Governing Council (2007–2014), including chair of the Standing Committee on Ethics and member of Nominating and Governance Committee, and institute advisory board of the CIHR Institute of Gender and Health (2005–2007) and finally Assisted Human Reproduction Canada (2008–12). She is also secretary of the board of Discovery House Family Violence Prevention Society (2017-), past president of the Alberta Association for Infant Mental Health (2017–19) and board chair of the College of Registered Nurses of Alberta (2020-2022). [24] [25]

Research and writing

Letourneau's research work has been focused on parenting and child development. [26] Initially her research was completely focus on psychological development in early childhood. However, a major part of her research has been focused on how postpartum depression affects parenting and child development. Her writings also deal with child rearing amidst complex social issues such as family violence and teen motherhood. [27] [28] Letourneau is one of the first nurse researchers to study the origins of fetal programming of infant stress reactivity [29] and alterations in brain structure caused due to pre-natal depression. [30] Her work focuses on how Parent-Child relationships affect health outcomes and interact with genotype in predicting mental health outcomes. [31] [32]

Building on her completed PhD, she attained her first grant as Co-Principal Investigator from AHFMR on a program to that was found to successfully promote maternal-child relationships between teenage mothers and their infants. [33] [34] Her first national funding was from the CIHR Institute of Neuroscience, Mental Health and Addiction on supports and services for mothers affected by postpartum depression. Her research highlighted women's needs and led to policy recommendations for reforms and improved services across Canada and culminated in a conference that attracted researchers, service providers, and policy makers. Thus began a history of attaining regular, substantial funding for projects with national impact. [35] [36]

She developed and tested MOMS (Mothers Offering Mentorship and Support) Link along with Dr. Cindy-Lee Dennis of the University of Toronto and in partnership with the province of New Brunswick. [37] [38] This program helps mothers suffering from postpartum depression. [39] Subsequently, she launched a pilot program in New Brunswick. As part of the program, new mothers were signed up for a weekly one-on-one phone call with a woman who had experienced postpartum depression. In 2016, she began working on bringing the program to national audiences through partnership with Sykes. [40]

She is also the principal investigator of the APrON (Alberta Pregnancy Outcomes and Nutrition) study. [41] APrON is a longitudinal cohort of ~2200 mothers, fathers and their children, focused on mothers' and children's mental and physical health and nutrition. APrON was established through $5 million funding from Alberta Innovates (formerly AHFMR). To date, 115+ peer-reviewed publications and hundreds of presentations have been derived from these data.

For APrON, funding has been obtained to follow the sample until children are 12 years old ($1.9 million from ACHF). For a subsample (n=225/2200), called the Fetal Programming Cohort, Letourneau is Co-Principal Investigator and co-founder and has helped attain additional funding for more in-depth data collection on parental caregiving quality (videotaped lab visits at 6, 18 and 48 months of age), infant HPA-axis function (lab visits at 3, 6 and 18 months of age), epigenetics and genetics (blood and buccal collection at 3 months of age) via funding from CIHR, PolicyWise, ACHF, NCE AllerGen, KidsBrainHealth/NCE Neurodevnet and an anonymous donor totaling nearly $1 million.

She has built on this success, with the VID-KIDS (Video-feedback interaction guidance for mothers with depression and their infants) study [42] funded by CIHR (~$600,000), focused on supporting depressed mothers’ parent-infant relationship quality to promote infant mental health. With post-doctoral fellow Martha Hart, she also developed and tested the ATTACH (Attachment and Child Health) program, which was selected as a Frontiers of Innovation program by the Harvard Center on the Developing Child for its promise in addressing toxic stress impacts on children's mental health. [43] It received a CIHR-SPOR grant to scale and spread ATTACH™ across Canada. Letourneau and Hart launched the online training program for health care professionals to receive instruction in ATTACH™ in 2019.

Letourneau has written over 211 peer-reviewed publications; authored the books, What Kind of Parent Am I?: Self-Surveys That Reveal the Impact of Toxic Stress and More,Scientific Parenting: What Science reveals about Parental Impact, and Parenting and Child Development: Issues and Answers, has contributed to more than 20 books on parenting and childcare.

Postpartum depression (PPD), also called postnatal depression, is a type of mood disorder experienced after childbirth, which can affect both sexes. Symptoms may include extreme sadness, low energy, anxiety, crying episodes, irritability, and changes in sleeping or eating patterns. PPD can also negatively affect the newborn child.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Babywearing</span> Wearing or carrying a baby in a sling

Babywearing is the practice of wearing or carrying a baby in a sling or in another form of carrier. Babywearing has been practiced for millenia around the world. Babywearing is a form of baby transport which can be used for as long as mutually desired, often until toddlerhood and beyond. In the industrialized world, babywearing has gained popularity in recent decades. Part of the reason for this shift is due to the influence of advocates of attachment parenting.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Maternal bond</span> Relationship between mother and child

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lactational amenorrhea</span> Post-partum infertility due to breast feeding

Lactational amenorrhea, also called postpartum infertility, is the temporary postnatal infertility that occurs when a woman is amenorrheic and fully breastfeeding.

Postpartum blues, also known as baby blues and maternity blues, is a very common but self-limited condition that begins shortly after childbirth and can present with a variety of symptoms such as mood swings, irritability, and tearfulness. Mothers may experience negative mood symptoms mixed with intense periods of joy. Up to 85% of new mothers are affected by postpartum blues, with symptoms starting within a few days after childbirth and lasting up to two weeks in duration. Treatment is supportive, including ensuring adequate sleep and emotional support. If symptoms are severe enough to affect daily functioning or last longer than two weeks, the individual should be evaluated for related postpartum psychiatric conditions, such as postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. It is unclear whether the condition can be prevented, however education and reassurance are important to help alleviate patient distress.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Postpartum psychosis</span> Rare psychiatric emergency beginning suddenly in the first two weeks after childbirth

Postpartum psychosis(PPP), also known as puerperal psychosis or peripartum psychosis, involves the abrupt onset of psychotic symptoms shortly following childbirth, typically within two weeks of delivery but less than 4 weeks postpartum. PPP is a condition currently represented under "Brief Psychotic Disorder" in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Volume V (DSM-V). Symptoms may include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech (e.g, incoherent speech), and/or abnormal motor behavior (e.g., catatonia). Other symptoms frequently associated with PPP include confusion, disorganized thought, severe difficulty sleeping, variations of mood disorders (including depression, agitation, mania, or a combination of the above), as well as cognitive features such as consciousness that comes and goes (waxing and waning) or disorientation.

Antenatal depression, also known as prenatal or perinatal depression, is a form of clinical depression that can affect a woman during pregnancy, and can be a precursor to postpartum depression if not properly treated. It is estimated that 7% to 20% of pregnant women are affected by this condition. Any form of prenatal stress felt by the mother can have negative effects on various aspects of fetal development, which can cause harm to the mother and child. Even after birth, a child born from a depressed or stressed mother feels the affects. The child is less active and can also experience emotional distress. Antenatal depression can be caused by the stress and worry that pregnancy can bring, but at a more severe level. Other triggers include unplanned pregnancy, difficulty becoming pregnant, history of abuse, and economic or family situations.

Kathryn Elaine Barnard was a nurse known for her discovery of the role mother-newborn interactions have in early childhood development.

Psychodynamic Therapy with Infants and Parents aims to relieve emotional disturbances within the parent(s), the baby, and/or their interaction, for example, postnatal depression and anxiety, infant distress with breastfeeding and sleep, and attachment disorders. It rests on attachment theory and psychoanalysis. Sigmund Freud suggested that a modification of his method could be applied to children, and child analysis was introduced in the 1920s by [Anna Freud].., [Melanie Klein], and Hermine Hug von Hellmuth. Klein speculated on infantile experiences to understand her patients' disorders but she did not practice PTIP. Donald Winnicott, a pediatrician and analyst, focused on the mother-baby interplay in his theorizing and his brief parent-child consultations, but he did not work with PTIP.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Breastfeeding and mental health</span>

Breastfeeding and mental health is the relationship between postpartum breastfeeding and the mother's and child's mental health. Research indicates breastfeeding may have positive effects on the mother's and child's mental health, though there have been conflicting studies that question the correlation and causation of breastfeeding and maternal mental health. Possible benefits include improved mood and stress levels in the mother, lower risk of postpartum depression, enhanced social emotional development in the child, stronger mother-child bonding and more. Given the benefits of breastfeeding, the World Health Organization (WHO), the European Commission for Public Health (ECPH) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggest exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. Despite these suggestions, estimates indicate 70% of mothers breastfeed their child after birth and 13.5% of infants in the United States are exclusively breastfed. Breastfeeding promotion and support for mothers who are experiencing difficulties or early cessation in breastfeeding is considered a health priority.
