This Friday is Maternal Health Awareness Day, and all week long we’ll be sharing small but important facts about maternal mental health and postpartum depression.

Did you know? Studies show that nearly 1 in 5 new mothers experience postpartum depression within the first year after childbirth.

PPD is common, treatable and nothing to be ashamed of. We hope these daily reminders encourage conversation, awareness and support 💙

📞 Call or text 988 or the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-943-5746 for more help and resources.

DMH was grateful for the opportunity to help pack suitcases today for more than 1,300 children and youth in the foster care system in our state. We are thankful for partners statewide who are working to create a system of hope with a trauma informed focus! If you are interested in becoming a foster family or adoptive family, please contact the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services. They are looking for heroes like you!

This past December, DMH staff gathered at Galloway United Methodist Church to remember and honor those who lost their lives while experiencing homelessness.

During the winter months, individuals without housing face increased hardship and trauma. May this serve as a reminder to extend empathy, support and kindness whenever we can. 🩵
