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.

Representation matters! Studies have shown that race and gender matching between patients and physicians can profoundly impact patient satisfaction and health outcomes. More graduates of African descent in medical schools and allied healthcare professions will undoubtedly contribute to improving the well-being of people of African descent. If you are a Black healthcare provider, we appreciate and need you in this field. Drop a heart or tag your favorite Black healthcare provider in the comments. It is Black Maternal Health Week, and we are highlighting maternal health topics and outcomes. Like, share, and comment to help us spread awareness around these important topics.
