Advocacy & Awareness: A Supportive Conversation for Recognizing & Understanding Signs & Symptoms of Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders

This free community education event will provide education on recognizing signs of prenatal and perinatal distress, when it becomes more than the baby blues, and when and how to seek professional help. The conversation will be informal and will normalize aspects of maternal and paternal mental health that are heavily stigmatized from a strengths-based, hope-oriented perspective. Handouts will be provided, and a question and answer session will conclude the event. Light refreshments will be available.
