Join us for a laid-back Mom Walk on Saturday, May 23rd at 9:30am! We’ll start by meeting at the Starbucks by Leghorns to grab a drink or snack, then head out together along the paved path from Leghorns Park to Prince Park.

It’s an easy 2.5-mile loop—perfect for strollers, scooters, little walkers, or just a solo reset with good company 🤍

Whether you’re catching up with friends or hoping to meet some new ones, this is your sign to get outside, move your body, and connect with other local moms 💫

Is it PPD, PPA, or POCD? 💭

Maternal mental health doesn’t look just one way, and symptoms can show up anytime during pregnancy or postpartum.

What you’re feeling might be:
• Depression
• Anxiety
• OCD
✳️ Perinatal Mental Health Disorders also include bipolar mood disorders, PTSD, and psychosis. ✳️

All are common, temporary, and treatable, but they do require support.

Too often, parents experience symptoms like: irritability, racing thoughts, guilt, sadness, intrusive thoughts, or constant worry… and don’t realize there’s a name for it.

When we connect the dots, we make maternal mental health visible.
And when it’s visible, it becomes treatable, supportable, and understood.
