Maternal Mental Health Month
Maternal Mental Health Month is celebrated each May to raise awareness about parents’ mental well-being before, during, and after pregnancy. Celebrating this month can mean acknowledging the importance of monitoring maternal mental health, sharing resources, talking to your healthcare and support team about these issues, and drawing inspiration from others who have shared their stories. At IBPF, we are here for you!
