The Climb- Coles County

05/07/2026

World Maternal Mental Health Day is a day we share and raise awareness! Share your stories, so that others don’t feel ashamed. Connect with moms who are in the thick of postpartum life. Connect with your providers if you aren’t feeling like yourself. Parenting is hard, having a baby is hard, it is ok to need some help!

💙It’s ok, to not be ok.
🩵It’s not your fault.
🤍With help, you can get better!

Today is World Maternal Mental Health Day 🌎
🔵 Worldwide, 1 in 5 women experience a perinatal mental health disorder (PMHD) during pregnancy or postpartum.
🔵 Estimates are that 7 in 10 women downplay or hide their symptoms.
🔵 Perinatal mood disorders affect the entire family, and dads, partners, and non-birthing parents are also likely to experience a PMHD when the mother or birthing parent is also experiencing one.
🔵 It is estimated that 20-25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage or stillbirth, which increases the risk of experiencing a PMHD.

You are not alone. You are not to blame. With help, you WILL be well 💙 Get help now ⤵️
📱 Call or text the PSI HelpLine at 800-944-4773. You never need a diagnosis to ask for help.
💻 Visit Postpartum.net for free support programs and perinatal mental health resources.

We’re connecting the dots between not feeling like yourself, getting help and feeling better!

Our #1 goal for Climb Coles County is raising awareness and connecting others who have been touched by Perinatal Mental Health Disorders.

You’re not alone! 💙🩵🩶🤍

Hi Climb Friends!!!!

In honor of Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week we are back at it planning this year’s Climb!!! Stay tuned for information throughout the week on PSI and The Climb! 💙🩵🩶🤍

This May, we're Connecting the Dots for Maternal Mental Health!

For so many parents, a perinatal mental health disorder starts with just not feeling like themselves. This month we're focusing on making the connections so that more moms know that help is here and they can get better.

🔵 "Something feels off..." → 🔵 "This has a name..." → 🔵 "Help is here." → 🔵 "I can get better."

We're also kicking off Spring Climb Season on May 16 and hosting a Virtual Climb Weekend May 15-17 to raise awareness of maternal mental health and fundraise for PSI! Help us show moms that they are not alone, they are not to blame, and with help, they WILL be well 💙
