Shandrea Jackson never expected to experience postpartum depression after her second child s birth, much less look for help to sort through her emotions.
But as she enjoys time with her soon-to-be-2-year-old son and his 7-year-old brother, this young mom is thankful she made the contact that changed her life.
Jackson sought answers to her emotion-filled questions through the Postpartum Support Network, a nonprofit group supporting moms and families in Brevard who are experiencing postpartum depression. The group officially launched in 2019 in honor of Maternal Mental Health Week, observed annually the first week of May.
The group s goals: educating the public and getting people talking, making them more aware of postpartum depression and making it more comfortable for new moms and families to ask for help, said Tina Lange, founder and president of the network.
