Are you a pregnant or new mom/birthing person who is feeling sad, tired, overwhelmed, or stressed? Do you have trouble sleeping, experience mood swings, or generally feel run down and depressed?

Postpartum depression and other mental health conditions are the most common complication of pregnancy and childbirth. More than 30% of new moms & birthing persons experience them.

If you are feeling this way, you are not alone. POEM can help.

(*perinatal = the period of time from the start of a pregnancy up to a year after giving birth)

POEM offers support, resources, referrals, and a sense of community to help moms and birthing persons in Ohio feel heard, understood, and empowered.
