Why perinatal mental health
Why perinatal mental health
Ours is a place for all new mothers to de-stress and find community.
Isolation of community, leads to women being unseen and often unscreened for mental health conditions. A safe place like ours with trauma-aware nurse-led programming and peers is where health begins. This is a public health crisis that needs our help. Effecting One in Five new mothers, this is preventable and a most common medical condition of pregnancy.
