Project Overview
We would need a volunteer to help us develop our Conscious Moms brand to further our efforts for Maternal Mental Health and cultivate a community of kindness and awareness for moms through buy-in from the community and sponsors.Up to 1 in 5 women suffer from Maternal Mental Health (MMH) disorders in the U.S. each year. Research shows that this number has more than doubled during the pandemic. Less than 15% of women diagnosed with a maternal mental health disorder receive treatment. With increased demand and barriers to mental health care because of the pandemic, even fewer moms received treatment. Roughly 1 in 5 women are not asked about depression during prenatal visits despite universal screening being recommended. Up to 50% of women living in poverty will suffer from a maternal mental health disorder. 34% of new mothers report experiencing a traumatic childbirth. Up to fifteen percent (15%) of women will develop anxiety during pregnancy or after childbirth. 70-100% of women (and their partners) have “intrusive” thoughts surrounding childbirth/the postpartum period. Now, more than ever, it is important to address barriers to maternal mental health care and treatment. Helping us to develop our brand will help to ensure clear messaging on our purpose and efforts to be effective and compelling to join and be a part of!We have created a Conscious Moms logo, mission statement, website and podcast so far. Once our brand is developed, we will be able to market our cause more effectively to garner support from the community and sponsors to further our cause and make a difference!
