Postpartum Depression Awareness

Postpartum Depression and other postpartum mood disorders affect approximately 15% of Moms within the first year of giving birth. It is believed that this statistic is in fact much higher as so many Moms do not come forward. The majority of these Moms do not get help for a variety of reasons: either they go undiagnosed, are unable to find help or never come forward because of the stigma attached to PPD. Through Awareness and information we can change this stigma and make it easier to find help. Canadian Moms are raising our next generation and their mental health is of top priority! Help is out there - find it at www.ppda.ca Objective: To create AWARENESS for Postpartum Depression through an Awareness Month and related events each year. To INFORM by creating a comprehensive Resource Website which endeavours to list ALL of the resources available in central Alberta for individuals & families dealing with PPD. Long term goal is to spread awareness and to inform Nationally!
