Description

Mental Health Awareness Month has been observed in May in the United States since 1949 but did you know that Maternal Mental Health is also observed in May of every year? Raising awareness and providing resources for women experiencing mental health challenges during and after pregnancy matters! Studies show that 1 out of 8 women struggle with infertility, 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriages or stillbirths, and 20% of women experience perinatal or postpartum mood and anxiety disorder (PMAD). The reproductive journey can be challenging for many women and it's important that they feel supported and receive competent treatment without the fear of judgment. Doctors, healthcare and mental health professionals, and integrated care specialist must work together to normalize and not stigmatize the health and wellness of women experiencing mental health challenges during and after pregnancy. Join us on May 12th for a FREE maternal mental health symposium addressing maternal health challenges, interventions, resources and self-care strategies. Please RSVP by May 1st!
