Suicide is the leading cause of death for birthing people during the first year following a child’s birth. Suicidal thoughts are also common during the perinatal period. Infertility and pregnancy or infant loss are also significant risk factors for suicide and suicidal ideation. Yet, this topic remains something many do not discuss. Join Maternal Mental Health NOW and Maternal Mental Health Leadership Alliance for an intimate conversation about suicide and suicidal thoughts from those with lived experience. Let’s learn together how to make sure no birthing person feels like their baby would be better off without them.
