The Climb Out of the Darkness is the world's largest event raising funds and awareness for the mental health of new families operated by Postpartum Support International. The Climb is a community walk and international fundraiser for survivors, providers, and members of the community to come together.

Raising awareness for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, The Climb brings our community together to shine a light on a darkness we often don't speak about. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are the most common complication of pregnancy and childbirth.

We share stories of hope and celebrate recovery as we gather together to raise money, raise awareness and give a voice to those who no longer have one and walk together to symbolize our 'Climb' Out of the Darkness.

We provide direct peer support to families, train professionals, and provide a bridge to connect them.

Please help me reach my goal of raising $100 for this amazing organization by May 1, 2022 and join a Climb near you!

Coming out of seclusion cause my mama’s got me feeling as proud as Leila Jackson 🥰 Do yourself a favor & check out her most recent feature on where she teaches us all about understanding & managing trauma!

🎙Link in stories & bio!

“Therapist Carolyn Mohler () discusses trauma and what it is, how to recognize it and how to manage it.  She defines trauma as not how an event affects you at the time, but how it affects you today and impacts your life.  What might be trauma for one person, the same event may not affect others in the same way.”

Are you a podcast listener? I mostly listen to educational podcasts. So much great, free information out there!
