Trying to become pregnant, or going through a fertility journey can impact overall health, triggering anxiety, depression, stress and grief. It is estimated that 1 in 8 couples are impacted by infertility in the U.S. Supporting perinatal mental health starts during the TTC phase, through pregnancy and up to the first year postpartum. Post- partum does not end at the "6 week check- up".
1 in 7 birthing individuals and 1 in 10 partners can experience a perinatal mental health mood or anxiety disorder.
There are resources and supports, please reach out today or access resources on this site.
