#BecauseOfYou
#BecauseOfYou
This giving season, we want to bring awareness to the prevalence of Perinatal Mental Health Disorders, such as Postpartum Depression or Anxiety.
We want to hear from you! As part of #BecauseOfYou, would you share your story, and call out the person, service, or provider that helped you on your path to recovery. The person that helped you in your recovery, the nurse that noticed, the support service that was the essential tool in your recovery, the doctor that prescribed your medication, etc.
Each story that is shared, helps other parents know that they are not alone, that help is available, and you may reach someone who needs it more than ever.
Tag PSI and use hashtag #BecauseOfYou
