Faith, Motherhood, and Mental Health: Understanding Postpartum Depression in the Church

This talk aims to educate the faith community on Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMADs), including postpartum depression, anxiety, and other related conditions. We will explore the different types of postpartum disorders, their symptoms, and the impact they have on both mothers and fathers. By addressing statistics and the prevalence of these conditions, we will discuss ways to break the stigma and raise awareness within faith communities. Attendees will receive valuable resources to help support individuals and families affected by PMADs, fostering a culture of understanding, compassion, and informed care.
