Today we celebrate World Maternal Mental Health Day. An important day. Increasing awareness will drive social change with a goal toward improving the quality of care for women experiencing all types of PMADs, and reducing the stigma of maternal mental illness.

Three organizations across Canada are receiving close to $857,000 in funding for community-based projects to support maternal mental health. Learn more: ow.ly/KLLh104FLrL

Today is Red Dress Day, also known as the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Two-Spirit People. Today brings awareness to the thousands of Indigenous women, and two-spirit people who have been subject to disproportionate violence 💔
