Happy #MothersDay ! I especially want to recognize and thank the hardworking moms I have the pleasure of working with at CMS. Your support and dedication make all that we do possible.

Becoming a new parent can be hard. It is normal to feel depressed, anxious, & overwhelmed after having a baby. If you need someone to talk to, call or text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA. It's free & confidential. #MaternalMentalHealth

Taking care of your mental health is important at every stage of life. Talk with your doctor to see if mental health services are right for you—Medicare covers many of them: go.medicare.gov/3wil7XL
