Announcing the 4th Annual Mother’s Day Rally for Moms’ Mental Health

by | 3 comments

postpartum depression mother's day rallyOne of the most exciting things I get to do all year here at Postpartum Progress is work on the Mother’s Day Rally for Moms’ Mental Health. If you don’t know what it is, the rally is our annual event on Mother’s Day that brings attention to postpartum depression. We highlight 24 women, most of whom have suffered PPD (and related illnesses), women who are authors and bloggers with wide influence who will share their stories and their wisdom for 24 hours straight, starting at 12:01am on Mother’s Day.

I’m very please to announce the list of participants in our 4th Annual Mother’s Day Rally for Moms’ Mental Health. I’m so proud and excited to have each of these women here with us on May 13th. Please mark your calendars and get ready to read some beautiful, inspiring, funny, heartbreaking, hopeful and honest things about new motherhood and postpartum depression.

Did I miss anybody? Probably, because this is a monumental task to manage. But SO WORTH IT! Every year the Rally helps break down the stigma even further and help the public see that mothers with postpartum depression are, first and foremost, just mothers. Every day people.
See you on the 13th!
