May is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month. Maternal mental health issues including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance abuse are caused by biological and/or socioeconomic factors during and/or after a pregnancy and affect one in five birthing people in the United States. Disparities and inequities abound: within marginalized communities, that number is as high as one in three. Without sufficient support and resources, maternal mental health can have a significant impact on both mothers and children. Perigee Fund partners with leaders in the field – centering those who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color – who are reimagining how society and systems must more fully conceptualize and respond to maternal mental health to equitably see and serve more people. #PerigeeFund #MMHAM2024 #MaternalMentalHealth
