💚 Maternal mental health matters.
October is Depression Awareness Month, an important reminder that mental health support is essential at every stage of life, including pregnancy and postpartum.
DWIHN recently partnered with the Southeast Michigan Perinatal Quality Improvement Coalition (SEMPQIC) for a Community Baby Shower at Pathways Academy, connecting new and expecting parents with education, essential resources and support.
The event also created space for important conversations about postpartum depression, perinatal mood disorders and the challenges families may experience before and after welcoming a child.
Through our Infant Mental Health and School Success Programming and continued partnership with SEMPQIC, DWIHN is working to strengthen access to resources that support parents, infants and caregivers across Wayne County.
Because caring for a baby's well-being also means caring for the mental health of those raising them.
For mental health support and resources, contact DWIHN's 24/7 Access Center at 1-800-241-4949 or visit DWIHN.org.
