Wednesday, 6 May 2020 is World Maternal Mental Health Day: raising awareness of maternal mental health issues so that more women will get treatment and fewer will suffer.
I responded to a call out for submissions of stories, essays and poems that address perinatal depression and anxiety.
I’m delighted to tell you that my short story ‘The New Baby’, first published in Quadrant magazine, has been selected for inclusion in this anthology.
The planned release date for the anthology is May this year, to coincide with World Maternal Mental Health Day.
What a privilege to be part of this important collection of 25 stories, poems and essays that will also be featured as part of PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Awareness) week in November.
Every November PANDA Week provides an opportunity to increase understanding in the community about an illness that is more common and more serious than many people realise.
Congratulations! I really love the photo you chose to go with this post 🙂
