"Know Why" is the theme for this year's . For us this means highlighting the role of mental health issues as the leading cause of preventable maternal deaths and expanding access to resources to help better support patients. With perinatal mental health issues and maternal mortality disproportionately impacting Black birthing individuals, we are so proud to launch our new Black Perinatal Mental Health Training, now available on-demand online.
This new training will equip a wide array of health professionals with symptom presentation, physiology and epigenetics, treatment considerations and screening tools but also with a greater understanding of the ancestral and historical experiences of Black birthing people, care disparities, and the impact of stigma and one’s own self awareness when it comes to treating Black birthing people and families. Enroll today or apply for one of our 200 scholarships for clinicians, social workers and other professionals working with low-income Black birthing individuals and communities. Thank you to kate spade new york for funding this important training and scholarships.

The news of the New Zealand Prime Minister’s resignation may have come as a shock, but mothers everywhere understand the reality of governing – whether a country, company, board room or play room – and the expectations and pressures that disproportionately fall on them. As women, and as a society, we like to think moms can do everything. Well, we can 💪 but the reality is that sometimes we do have to make difficult choices for our families, ourselves and our mental health. Jacinda Arden has set a historic example of what women can do in leadership roles, and we applaud her for the courage and fortitude it takes to admit when one’s tank is empty and it’s time for a refill. ⛽️

"Paid family leave remains the least accessible paid leave benefit, available to 23% of civilian workers overall but only 7% of workers in the bottom 10% wage category," according to the new Framework for Mental Health & Well-Being in the Workplace released recently by the U.S. Surgeon General.

Pregnancy may be considered an illness and disability in the workplace, similar to a job injury or chronic disease, but it may not be treated the same when it comes to dialogue and policies. A study from the University of Georgia finds those who feel greater conflict among their roles as parent and employee have worse mental health outcomes. The study underscores the importance of workplaces addressing return-to-work policies and approaches for individuals post-maternity leave in a more intentional way.
