To every new and expecting mom: You matter, too. ❤️

If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or just not like yourself, you're not alone.

Did you know that 1 in 5 women experience depression or anxiety during pregnancy or the first year after birth? Yet many moms struggle in silence because they feel pressure to "do it all" or worry about being judged.

Our latest blog explores the signs of maternal mental health challenges and the support available through BHN, including pregnancy & postpartum crisis support, the Tender Transitions support group, counseling, parenting support, and resources for growing families: bhninc.org/support-for-new-parents

If you or someone you know could use support, call 413-301-WELL (9355) or visit one of BHN's Community Behavioral Health Centers. You're not alone, and help is available.

When you're expecting a baby or adjusting to life as a new parent, it's easy to focus on everyone else's needs. But your well-being matters, too. We're her for you.

You Spoke. We're Listening. 💜

At BHN, we believe the people who live and work in our communities should have a voice in shaping behavioral health care. That’s why we’ve been hosting community listening sessions in Springfield and Worcester, bringing together community members, partners and stakeholders to talk openly about behavioral health needs, barriers to care, and what they want to see in the future.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, shared their experiences, and offered their perspective. What we heard is helping us think about how we can make care easier to find, easier to access and more responsive to the needs of the people and communities we serve.

Read about what we learned and how we're responding: bhninc.org/listening

Stay tuned for future opportunities to share your voice!

Your voice matters. Learn what BHN heard during community listening sessions and how we’re responding to improve behavioral health care.
