Did you know that 1 in 5 women will experience a maternal mental illness each year? Help us shine light on the most common complication of childbirth by joining us for Climb Out of the Darkness on June 2, 2018. Our family-friendly event will take place at the Massad YMCA off of Butler Road. Registration will begin at 9:30am and the walk will begin at 10am. We will have survivors share their stories to kick off the walk, walk the paved trail, and finish the event off with light refreshments and fellowship. Our goal is to raise awareness of perinatal mood disorders (PMADs), to share hope and encouragement with those still struggling, and to show the local mental health community the need for specialized training.
For those that would like to support us financially, we accept donations at: https://climb-out-2018.causevox.com/team/fredericksburg
