The colder months can make postpartum challenges feel even harder, especially if you struggle with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). But there’s hope and WIC is here to support you!

Here are a few simple ways to help lift your spirits:

❤️ Lean on family and friends for support and a listening ear.
👶 Breastfeed! It releases oxytocin, the "feel-good" hormone, to help lift your mood!
🙂 Find small joys in your day. Little moments can make a big difference.
☀️Connect with WIC for helpful resources and a supportive community.

It’s okay to ask for help! If you’re struggling, talk to your doctor or call/text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262) anytime. Learn more at (link in bio): https://mchb.hrsa.gov/programs-impact/national-maternal-mental-health-hotline
