Mental Health conditions in the perinatal period are the most common complication of childbearing. Studies show that 1 in 5 moms and 1 in 10 dads suffer from perinatal depression and anxiety, but that number is likely even higher. There are a number of providers, organizations, and resources to help you get through this.
You may be worried that someone you care about is suffering from pregnancy-related depression or anxiety. You may even experience feelings like confusion, sadness, or pain about their reaction to becoming a parent. New parents may be just as confused or surprised by what is happening, but know they are not to blame, and they need empathy and support from loved ones.
The Perinatal Well-Being Coalition is a perinatal mental health and family wellness network in Larimer County that seeks to support birthing people, moms, dads, and their families at risk of pregnancy-related depression and anxiety. The current iteration of this coalition combines two former groups: The Pregnancy Related Depression & Anxiety and Mood Disorders Coalition (PRD/AMD), initiated in 2014, and the Nurse and Family Partnership (NFP) Perinatal Coalition, initiated in 2020.
Join us in September for a morning of learning among local perinatal care providers. Register here.
If you think you have perinatal depression or anxiety, start by reaching out to a health care provider, this could be a doctor, doula, mental health counselor, or reach out to a network of support like family, friends, or a support group.
There are a number of excellent resources designed specifically for women and their families. These resources can help you learn more about maternal depression and what support and treatment can look like for you.
