This photo was taken after the presentation to the Health and Human Services Committee by Sarah Schwartz, Executive Director of Mental Health America of GA and PPD Survivor. MHA's Project Healthy Moms is one of the only state-wide resources for maternal mental health in Georgia.
At the presentation, many survivors and supporters wore green sashes to show our commitment to the cause of maternal mental health. Our presence said "I am a survivor. I stand for awareness, education, and support of mothers. Maternal Mental Health is important to EVERYONE in this state and in the world." I am proud to have been there in person to put a face to Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders.
