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. And that is my hope that we can create a collective community care structure that leaves no family, no parent behind.
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. We can eliminate barriers and work against the systemic problems that keep folks from the support they deserve.
Please help me reach my goal of $500. Every little bit counts. Thanks!
