There is a particular kind of exhaustion that comes not just from caring for a newborn, but from carrying the weight of everything you're not supposed to say.

For many South Asian mothers, that weight is real, and it accumulates quietly.

Research shows South Asian immigrant mothers face nearly double the risk of postpartum depression compared to their host-country peers, yet they're among the least likely to access support. Cultural stigma, language barriers, a clinical system not designed for them, and the unspoken rules of what a "good mother" looks like all play a role.

In a powerful new post on the PSI Blog, Psychologist and PMH-C Raag Malhotra unpacks what's behind the silence, and what families, allies, and providers can actually do to change it.

What began as a wish has become a movement.

Advocates who once searched for someone to listen have helped shape an entire field of care dedicated to supporting parents during pregnancy and postpartum.

Today, PSI stands as a global leader in perinatal mental health, strengthening programs, training professionals, expanding research, and providing support to thousands of families each year.

The 2025 Impact Report tells the story of that progress and the community making it possible.

When providers are supported, families receive stronger care.

Every day, providers caring for pregnant and postpartum parents face complex mental health decisions, often with limited time, evolving research, and high-stakes outcomes. Having access to trusted psychiatric guidance can make a critical difference for both providers and the families they serve.

PSI’s Perinatal Psychiatric Consultation Program connects providers with consultation, education, and resources to support the psychiatric care of perinatal patients.

Through this program, healthcare professionals gain access to accurate information, specialized expertise, and collaborative support, helping ensure parents receive informed, compassionate care during pregnancy and postpartum.

🚨 Perinatal Mental Health Disorders (PMHDs) affect up to 1 in 5 birthing people.

Many clinicians want to help, but PMHDs are often missed or misdiagnosed, leaving families without the care they need.

That’s why Postpartum Support International created the Perinatal Mood Disorders: Components of Care Training, which is trauma-informed, evidence-based, and designed to help clinicians support families confidently and effectively.

💡 In this training you’ll learn to:
🔹 Screen & assess for perinatal mental health disorders
