May is Maternal Mental Health Month

In Newfoundland and Labrador, 1 in 4 people who give birth experience perinatal mental illness. 

Maternal Mental Health Month is an annual campaign that raises awareness about mental health issues people may have before, during, and after pregnancy.

The month includes advocacy, education, and outreach to ensure people receive the support they need during the perinatal period and know they are not alone.
