Supporting PMHAPOC July–September

Our online sales donations are still going strong! Over $100 has been donated to non-profit organizations so far. Through September, 10% of all online sales will go to the Perinatal Mental Health Alliance for People of Color, a program within Postpartum Support International. The mission of PMHAPOC is to support professionals and families of color with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. ⁣

Their work is SO important. Womxn of color experience perinatal emotional complications/PMADs at TWICE the rate of white women, and 60% of womxn of color do not receive any treatment or support services for their PMADs. (Source: PMHAPOC) ⁣

While we often talk about this issue in data and numbers, it’s so important to remember that while these issues do have vast implications for communities and society as a whole, at the core is an individual. A mother or parent who is struggling without the support they deserve; support from someone who understands. We’re proud to support this organization making a difference in a big way to expand access and build capacity among perinatal professionals to better support individuals, families, and communities of color.
