Episode Synopsis

It's Giving Tuesday! And I'm excited to tell you about an amazing fund that's supporting those seeking perinatal mental health. The Georgia Fund for Perinatal Mental Health is a grassroots crowdfunding effort to pay for fully funded therapy sessions for perinatal moms and families in Georgia.

This fund is rooted in the practice of mutual aid, with the understanding that our state’s healthcare systems have failed to meet the primary mental health needs of moms and parents. Georgia currently holds the highest (#50) maternal mortality rate and the worst (#50) record for mental health care access in the US.

And in this episode I get to speak with the incredible founder, Bridget Cross, LPC, PMH-C. Bridget and I talk about how she came into the speciality of perinatal mental health. We discuss her own motherhood journey and how it influenced her work. And we also talk about how birthing parents in Georgia are suffering and how the Georgia Fund for Perinatal Mental Health is here to assist in solving this problem.
