Good Beginnings of Central Vermont is excited to announce Central Vermont’s first-ever Climb Out of the Darkness event on June 23rd, 2018. This annual, worldwide event is coordinated by Postpartum Support International and is the largest awareness-raising event devoted to perinatal mental health.

Good Beginnings is organizing a Climb Out of the Darkness to help shine a light on the fact that postpartum mood and anxiety disorders are the most common complication of childbirth - and often go undiagnosed. Our Climb will also raise funds to support Good Beginnings’ unique and critical work supporting Central Vermont families during the perinatal period and throughout the transition to parenthood.  We are excited to have UVM Health Network - Central Vermont Medical Center, Washington County Mental Health Services, and Hunger Mountain Coop as partners and sponsors for this event.

Please join us!

Our Climb has two locations - feel free to choose the one that feels right to you!
