Survived By: Maternal Death and the Impact on Families Please join us on Jan. 19th at 8PM (EST) for an in depth discussion about the impact of maternal death on families. The panel will include experts in the field, family members with lived experiences, and PSI’s group leaders. The discussion will be led by Wendy Davis, PSI’s Executive Director. The discussion among panelists will focus on the grief and loss a family feels after the death of a mother or birthing person during pregnancy, birth, or in the postpartum phase. We will also discuss two of the main causes of maternal death: medical complications (medical bias, racism, pre-eclampsia, hemorrhage, etc.) AND perinatal mental health challenges (perinatal depression and anxiety, psychosis, and suicide). This is a FaceBook Live FREE Event.
