As a person with lived experience of perinatal mental health struggles, raising awareness is at the forefront of my heart. No parent should have to feel alone in their parenting journey. I struggled with postpartum depression and anxiety, not only because I didn't know what support I needed, but because I was actually at risk for it.
Knowledge is power when it comes to a parenting journey. Perinatal Wellbeing Ontario reaches those without supports and services where they live.
I was privileged to be able to reach out to supports from folks who look like me and afford it. Not everyone is this fortunate. Together we can eliminate barriers and work against the systemic problems that keep folks from the support they deserve
Every little bit counts. Thanks!
