Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week runs from May 3rd – 7th 2021
World Maternal Mental Health Day is Wednesday May 5th 2021
Running in Triangles has partnered with World Maternal Mental Health Day and The Blue Dot Project to help spread awareness about maternal mental health issues. Maternal mental health disorders are the most common complication of childbirth, and yet less than 15% of women actually get the treatment they need. In order to End The Stigma surrounding perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, mothers need to feel safe opening up about what they are going through. In a world where motherhood is portrayed by themed monthly photo shoots, Pinterest-worthy crafts and mom and baby yoga – it can be hard to say “I need help.”
This Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month, we are #MakingOverMotherhood and changing the perspective.
