It’s more than just the ‘baby blues’

“Faith Communities Call to Action”

Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, better known as postpartum depression affect not only the mother experiencing these symptoms, but also the newborn infant and the other members of the family. As such, we are pleased to host this upcoming free event that focuses on increasing awareness throughout the county for the mother, the father, family members, faith based communities, health care providers, mental health professions and public servants.
