(1/3) Black Maternal Mental Health Week is a time to raise awareness and take action.
Research shows that only about 25% of Black women who experience symptoms of postpartum depression (PPD) seek professional help—compared to 45% of white women.
(3/3) We’re also honoring the work of Shades of Blue Project (@shadesofblueproject), a powerful organization dedicated to improving mental health outcomes for Black and Brown birthing people year-round. Their work reminds us that addressing maternal mental health is not just urgent—it’s essential.
