Overview
Mission
Postpartum Progress raises awareness, fights stigma and provides peer support to women with maternal mental illness. Our most significant activities are raising awareness through public education and outreach.
What it reported doing in 2017
General Program: The Organization's mission is to give new families a stronger start by increasing awareness of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, reducing stigma and providing tools that connect moms to treatment. The Organization accomplishes this mission through these key projects: an award winning blog that reaches more than one million new moms each year; a moderated private patient forum for thousands of moms struggling to recover from maternal mental illness; annual Climb Out of the Darkness event to raise awareness; grants to state organizations to help cover costs of direct services for under-served women with maternal mental illness; and coordination with external partners on important research studies. On February 27, 2017, the Organization's Board of Directors voted to begin the process of ceasing operations. On March 17, 2017, the Organization filed a formal notice to dissolve with the State of Georgia. The Organization ceased operations on December 31, 2017.
