Why is a Perinatal Mental Health So Important?
Preparation
1 in 5 birthing people and
1 in 10 partners suffer from postpartum depression, and it's the #1 complication from childbirth. It's treatable, and parents do not have to suffer!
Resources
Some parents have never experienced significant changes in mood and may feel blindsided should symptoms appear during pregnancy or postpartum.
Connection
Talking openly about the reality of common emotions during the various paths of parenthood helps fight the stigma associated with mental health. This is critical for saving and improving lives.
Support
Becoming a parent is one of the most significant life transitions. Finding community and resources decreases loneliness and isolation.
