Support Our Work
Perinatal mental health complications are common. One in 7 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers experience the impacts of perinatal mental health issues. This rate is even higher among birthers of color—1 in 3. (Accurate data for nonbinary parents does not yet exist).
Your contribution broadens access to mental health resources for new parents throughout Colorado.
How do your dollars make a difference?
Awareness. Most people, even parents and pregnant people, only have a vague understanding of postpartum depression, not to mention other perinatal mental health complications. We share accurate, destigmatizing information with thousands of people across Colorado.
Prevention. We help equip perinatal providers with the tools they need to screen for perinatal mental health issues and connect parents to the support they need early and quickly. This helps alleviate some of the bigger perinatal mental health symptoms down the line.
Treatment. Through The Birth Squad, we offer free, accessible treatment to birthing people in Denver, in English and in Spanish. We also support clinicians on developing their skills to treat perinatal mental illness effectively and compassionately.
