In honor of its 7th anniversary and Mental Illness Awareness Week, BGBB sponsored 7 free mental health therapy sessions for 7 pregnant and postpartum persons.

Mental health conditions are one of the leading causes of maternal and infant mortality. Maternal mental health conditions-- such as anxiety, perinatal and postpartum depression and birth-related PTSD-- are the most common complications of pregnancy and childbirth, affecting 1 in 5 women.
