Is Mom Ok?
Maternal Suicide Awareness and Prevention
September, 2025
The "Is Mom Ok?" campaign is dedicated to raising awareness about maternal suicide and empowering communities to support new mothers' mental health. Maternal suicide is a devastating yet preventable tragedy, and this campaign aims to break the silence surrounding perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) and provide resources for those who need them. Founded in 2024 by Cherished Mom, we were able to reach 1.2 million people with the help of our sponsors and partners.
Our Mission
-
Increase Awareness: Educate the public about the signs, symptoms, and risk factors of PMADs, including postpartum depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and psychosis.
-
Reduce Stigma: Create a safe and supportive environment for mothers to discuss their mental health without shame or judgment.
-
Promote Early Intervention: Encourage mothers and their loved ones to seek professional help if they experience symptoms of a PMAD.
-
Provide Resources: Connect families with accessible and reliable resources for PMAD support, treatment, and prevention.
-
Advocate for Policy Change: Support policies that improve access to maternal mental healthcare and support services.
