Join us in our efforts to address the most severe of pregnancy & postpartum mood disorders: pregnancy & postpartum psychosis (also known as perinatal psychosis or puerperal psychosis). This is our 3rd annual PPP Awareness Day and the FIRST ever US-based international fundraising effort for PPP awareness. We know awareness is crucial for saving lives, prevention of trauma and aiding recovery.
The new National Maternal Mental Health Hotline provides 24/7, free, confidential support, resources and referrals to any pregnant and postpartum mothers facing mental health challenges and their loved ones. The service is available via phone and text in English or Spanish.
Call or text, 1-833-9-HELP4MOMS (1-833-943-5746) to connect with counselors at the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline.
