Dear Friends and Supporters,

For nearly twenty years you have been making a difference in the lives of New York State moms, dads and families that are at risk for or experiencing a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (including postpartum depression and postpartum psychosis).

It is because of you that in every year since our founding in 1998, thousands of New York State families in crisis have been helped get to the help they need.

Thank you!

And, thank you for helping to further our Mission of increasing awareness and access to care for New York State families and with our Vision, Project 62 – Building and Strengthening Perinatal Mental Wellness Parent Support Networks and Safety Nets in all Sixty-two New York State counties.

Below you will find the latest news on upcoming events and trainings as well as updated information on some of the resources that we offer, including our very popular State-wide Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder Resource Directory. You will also find information about our Holiday Campaign 2017, which begins today and we greatly appreciate your support!

Thank you for caring and joining with us. Together we are helping to save lives and build healthy families for vibrant communities.

All the best,
Sonia Murdock
Executive Director

HOLIDAY CAMPAIGN 2017

Why do I care?

“Why do I care? Why do I care about mothers who experience suffering, grief and despair when they should be experiencing joy and happiness on the birth of a beautiful new baby? Why do I care about mothers that I don’t know, that may come from different backgrounds than I do, that may never know my name? Because I am one of them; because I know their pain and share their grief and despair. Because I lived it and I don’t want any other new mother to live it. That’s why I care.”
