Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week

May 4th- 10th is MMH Week!

Of course, we’ve all heard the saying, “healthy mom, healthy baby,” but let’s remember that “healthy” also refers to the mental and emotional, not only physical.

In honor of MMH, below are some interesting perinatal mental health facts based on data provided by Postpartum Support International . As you will see, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are extremely common and often untreated. If you have been experiencing sadness, anxiety, anger, or other mood discomfort, you are not alone! Please reach out for support!
