Post-Partum Depression is 2x Higher Among Young Moms

Post-partum depression (PPD) can hit young moms particularly hard with a recent report showing that young moms experience PPD at rate two times that of adult moms.

What should be a joyful time in someone’s life can easily be clouded by the many unique challenges they face. PPD not only affects the mother’s mental health but can hinder her ability to care for her baby which might lead to emotional or development concerns. We have several programs that provide mental health support, housing stabilitiy, group social connections, and employment opportunities for young parents. Our goal is to provide opportunities to offer a lifeline to these moms through a supportive community to ensure they understand they never have to navigate this journey alone.
