POEM

We are Ohio moms who have survived prenatal/postpartum depression (PPD) or anxiety so we understand like no one else can. We had thoughts that scared and shamed us. We blamed ourselves. We doubted ourselves. We felt weighed down by all the “shoulds” of motherhood. Some of us had a hard time finding help. That’s why we started POEM, where we volunteer our time to help moms like you who are experiencing the most common complication of childbirth.

RISE

Rise is a branch of POEM created by and for Black moms and birthing persons because we are more likely to experience perinatal mental health complications yet less likely to receive quality care and support. We Rise as a direct response to gaps in care, offering culturally matched peer support, care navigation, education, advocacy, and awareness while centering the unique and individualized needs of Black moms and birthing persons.
