Black Mothers Get Less Treatment For Their Postpartum Depression
After they give birth, black women are more likely than other women to suffer from postpartum depression. But many can't get treatment — or they avoid it because they fear government scrutiny.
Supporting Birth Strides on #GivingTuesday allows us to continue our work of providing no-cost doula services to Black women and teens in the Memphis community. Make your one-time or recurring donation at: bit.ly/birthstridesgi… #BlackMaternalHealth #Choose901
We still have work to do in combating the stigma, shame & blame associated with pregnancy loss. Grateful to start the conversation with @NPR 's @1a, Joshua Johnson, @Joyce_McFadden, Dr. Zev Williams. the1a.org/shows/2019-06-…
