1) IMPROVE YOUR PERINATAL SERVICES
60% of PMADs in birthing-individuals go undetected. Non-birthing parents are rarely, if ever, screened.
This comprehensive, evidence-based training will provide you (or your entire team!) with the insight and tools necessary to incorporate PMADs' prevention and early intervention efforts into your services.
2) HELP REDUCE BARRIERS TO CARE
ONLY 15% of those struggling with PMADs receive the support they deserve.
If you're interested in having a direct impact on perinatal individuals in need, join our army of passionate volunteers and get trained to provide peer support and tailored referrals to parents who contact our warmline.
3) SUPPORT PROGRESS AT A LOCAL LEVEL
For over 20 years, PHA has promoted perinatal mental health and wellness on behalf of the San Diego community.
You can support PHA by joining our membership organization. In addition to the MANY personal benefits, 100% of your dues go towards advancing our cause.
What's up with the blue dot?
The Blue Dot Project
A mom, a reproductive psychiatrist and a volunteer with Postpartum Health Alliance came together to create TheBlueDotProject. Receiving a generous grant from the Mason Hirst Foundation, the Project intends to change the face of Postpartum Depression and Anxiety by taking away the stigma and raising awareness.
The Blue Dot is the national symbol for maternal mental health survivor-ship, support, and solidarity.
Very often, when a parent is suffering from PMAD symptoms, it can be very isolating. The hope is that seeing these Blue Dot magnets and stickers around town, will spread the word: we are everywhere. Let them know they're not alone.
