With Maternal Mental Health Month just a few weeks away, Postpartum Support International is excited to announce the launch of our PSI Maternal Mental Health 2024 Month Campaign: We Are 1 in 5 Social Media Tool Kit, available now at https://lnkd.in/et_Aib4y. We invite you to join the #WeAre1in5 campaign and bring together the voices of PMHD survivors around the world. This year, we will share a diverse selection of stories that tell the struggles, hope, and recovery of those who have been affected by a PMHD. With your help, we hope to bring together PMHD survivor stories from different cities, cultures, religions, and countries across the globe through our social media campaign #WeAre1in5. We want every new mom to know: You are not alone. Although Perinatal Mental Health Disorders (PMHDs) affect an estimated 800,000 new parents each year, the topic of mental health can be a mystery to many. PSI wants to change the story by sharing YOUR story and breaking the silence about PMH Disorders. Browse the media kit to learn about content creation and storytelling campaign opportunities, or fill out our storytelling forum at https://lnkd.in/ege7tfD6 to submit your maternal mental health story. Visit the link in our bio to change the story by sharing YOUR story #WeAre1in5. Don't forget to shop 'We Are 1 in 5' Campaign T-Shirts and Merch.

Many people feel abandoned by culture, forgotten, alone or isolated during perinatal mental health disorders. No one seems to know what to do, what to say, or how to help. We have to...and can...change this. @alanis said it so beautifully…what new parents need is more bandwidth and nurturing from people. More than just the one hour visit to tell you how beautiful your baby is and then not see you again for six months. Share this with a friend, and reach out to every new mom you know. Find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and momandmind.com. #postpartumdepression #momandmind #WeAre1in5 #mentalhealthawareness #motherhoodjourney #fourthtrimester #postpartumrage #AlanisMorissette #MMHMonth2024 #MaternalMHMatters #MaternalMentalHealth

The feeling of the loss of self can make you feel disconnected, like you’re just going through the motions, or for some people, feelings of emptiness, it can even feel like you don’t matter. These feelings are not something people are prepared for. We want you to know that this can happen before it surprises you. We are shining a light on what can happen by sharing postpartum stories like @Alanis Morissette’s and so many other brave and vulnerable women who have opened up about their journey. Join me in episode 336 of the Mom & Mind™ podcast with Alanis and Wendy of @postpartumsupportinternational as we bring awareness to Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month. Tag a friend who might find this episode helpful.
