Every year, about 1 in 5 expecting and new parents experience symptoms of depression and/or anxiety. While most new mothers suffer from mood swings within the first few weeks, some pregnant and postpartum parents have intense feelings of sadness, worry, anger, numbness, or self-doubt that persist for months. Unfortunately, services are seriously lacking for parents in the United States, particularly when it comes to postpartum mental health. 

Anchor Perinatal Wellness provides unique and specialized mental health programming for pregnant and postpartum people, including a free, walk-in screening clinic, outpatient services and an intensive outpatient program to pregnant and postpartum adults who are struggling with a perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (PMAD). 

Anchor was founded by three Latina women who recognized that they shared a passion for expanding mental health services for perinatal people and they opened their program in May of 2022. Today we are joined by two of the founders of Anchor Perinatal, Roxanne Rosenberg, a licensed mental health counselor and Veronica Kemeny, a licensed clinical social worker. 

Last week, in part one of our conversation with the Anchor team we dove into a discussion of PMADs, lessons we can learn from other countries, and how PMAD’s are showing up differently in minority populations. Today in part 2 of our conversation, we dive into what intensive outpatient services look like for those suffering from PMADs, and explore reproductive justice and the role it is playing in Anchor Perinatal’s work.
